Yes, the above mentions to get KVM_FEATURE_CPUID and then check if live
migration feature is supported, i.e.,
kvm_para_has_feature(KVM_FEATURE_SEV_LIVE_MIGRATION). The above comments
are written more generically.

Just to ensure that the sev_live_migration_enabled is set to TRUE before
it is used immediately next in the function.
