This warning can pop up on AlmaLinux 9 (when virtualized on a modern Mac?).

IIRC the Apple Hypervisor on M4 erroneously reports SVE2 (but not SVE) as part of its virtualized AArch64 feature registers to the guest kernel, causing some confusion. No M-series CPUs have SVE/SVE2, though >=4 does have SME. Could double-check what /proc/cpuinfo reports on the guest.
