Don't let KVM load when running as an SEV guest, regardless of what CPUID says. Memory is encrypted with a key that is not accessible to the host (L0), thus it's impossible for L0 to emulate SVM, e.g. it'll see garbage when reading the VMCB. Technically, KVM could decrypt all memory that needs to be accessible to the L0 and use shadow paging so that L0 does not need to shadow NPT, but exposing such information to L0 largely defeats the purpose of running as an SEV guest. This can always be revisited if someone comes up with a use case for running VMs inside SEV guests. Note, VMLOAD, VMRUN, etc... will also #GP on GPAs with C-bit set, i.e. KVM is doomed even if the SEV guest is debuggable and the hypervisor is willing to decrypt the VMCB. This may or may not be fixed on CPUs that have the SVME_ADDR_CHK fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
