I guess those three case's can be unified:

        case 0x8000001a:
        case 0x8000001d:
        case 0x8000001f:
                break;

...

Right, as already mentioned in the previous mail: can we communicate SEV
status to the guest solely through the 0x8000001f leaf? Then we won't
need KVM_FEATURE_SEV and this way we'll be hypervisor-agnostic, as Paolo
suggested.
