I guess this is inline with rest of the code in this file. Also avoiding write every time may well be a tiny bit faster as we avoid flushing the cache line to which m_sve_header_is_valid belongs.


================
Comment at: lldb/source/Plugins/Process/Utility/RegisterInfoPOSIX_arm64.cpp:276
+    if (opt_regsets & eRegsetEnableMTE)
+      m_mte_regset_enabled = true;
   }

I think here as well if do write eveytime regardless of true/false we might end up refreshing the whole data set contained in cache against a RegisterInfoPOSIX_arm64 object. What do you think?
