Ok, so this looks like useless conversion:

you pass in a virtual address, it gets converted to a physical address
with slow_virt_to_phys() and then in early_set_memory_enc_dec() gets
converted to a virtual address again.

Why? Why not pass the virtual address directly?

Why isn't it enough to call

	sev_map_percpu_data()

at the end of kvm_guest_init() only but you have to call it in
kvm_smp_prepare_boot_cpu() too? I mean, once you map those things
decrypted, there's no need to do them again...
