A number of hardware platforms are implementing mechanisms whereby the
hypervisor does not have unfettered access to guest memory, in order
to mitigate the security impact of a compromised hypervisor.

AMD's SEV implements this with in-cpu memory encryption, and Intel has
its own memory encryption mechanism.  POWER has an upcoming mechanism
to accomplish this in a different way, using a new memory protection
level plus a small trusted ultravisor.  s390 also has a protected
execution environment.

The current code (committed or draft) for these features has each
platform's version configured entirely differently.  That doesn't seem
ideal for users, or particularly for management layers.

AMD SEV introduces a notionally generic machine option
"machine-encryption", but it doesn't actually cover any cases other
than SEV.

This series is a proposal to at least partially unify configuration
for these mechanisms, by renaming and generalizing AMD's
"memory-encryption" property.  It is replaced by a
"guest-memory-protection" property pointing to a platform specific
object which configures and manages the specific details.

For now this series covers just AMD SEV and POWER PEF.  I'm hoping it
can be extended to cover the Intel and s390 mechanisms as well,
though.

Note: I'm using the term "guest memory protection" throughout to refer
to mechanisms like this.  I don't particular like the term, it's both
long and not really precise.  If someone can think of a succinct way
of saying "a means of protecting guest memory from a possibly
compromised hypervisor", I'd be grateful for the suggestion.
