Hrm, I think there are two separate things being intertwined: the hypercall to
communicate private/shared pages, and the MSR to control live migration. More
thoughts below.

Even though the intent is to "force" userspace to intercept the MSR, I think KVM
should at least emulate the legal bits as a nop. Deferring completely to
userspace is rather bizarre as there's not really anything to justify KVM
getting involved. It would also force userspace to filter the MSR just to
support the hypercall.
Somewhat of a nit, but I think we should do something like s/ENABLED/READY,
or maybe s/ENABLED/SAFE, in the bit name so that the semantics are more along
the lines of an announcement from the guest, as opposed to a command. Treating
the bit as a hint/announcement makes it easier to bundle the hypercall and the
MSR together under a single feature, e.g. it's slightly more obvious that
userspace can ignore the MSR if it knows its use case doesn't need migration or
that it can't migrate its guest at will.
I also think we should drop the "SEV" part, especially since it sounds like the
feature flag also enumerates that the hypercall is available.
E.g. for the WRMSR side
