KVM: SEV: Configure "ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES" VMCB Field
AMD EPYC 5th generation processors have introduced a feature that allows
the hypervisor to control the SEV_FEATURES that are set for, or by, a
guest [1]. ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES can be used by the hypervisor to enforce
that SEV-ES and SEV-SNP guests cannot enable features that the
hypervisor does not want to be enabled.
Always enable ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES. A VMRUN will fail if any
non-reserved bits are 1 in SEV_FEATURES but are 0 in
ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES.
Some SEV_FEATURES - currently PmcVirtualization and SecureAvic
(see Appendix B, Table B-4) - require an opt-in via ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES,
i.e. are off-by-default, whereas all other features are effectively
on-by-default, but still honor ALLOWED_SEV_FEATURES.
