For all these flags, which of these limitations will be common to SEV-ES 
and SEV-SNP (ExtINT injection, MCE injection, changing TSC, read-only 
memory, dirty logging)?  Would it make sense to use vm_type instead of 
all of them?  I guess this also guides the choice of whether to use a 
single vm-type for TDX and SEV-SNP or two.  Probably two is better, and 
there can be static inline bool functions to derive the support flags 
from the vm-type.
