Two stupid questions (and not really related to your patch) for
self-eduacation if I may:

1) Why do we rely on CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT (which
sound like it control the guest side of things) to set defaults here? 

2) It appears to be possible to do 'modprobe kvm_amd sev=0 sev_es=1' and
this looks like a bogus configuration, should we make an effort to
validate the correctness upon module load?
