I'm pretty sure adding vmsa_pa is unnecessary.  The next patch sets svm->vmsa_pa
and vmcb->control.vmsa_pa as a pair.  And for the existing code, my proposed
patch to emulate INIT on shutdown would eliminate the one path that zeros the
VMCB[1].  That series patch also drops the init_vmcb() in svm_create_vcpu()[2].

Assuming there are no VMCB shenanigans I'm missing, sev_es_init_vmcb() can do

	if (!init_event)
		svm->vmcb->control.vmsa_pa = __pa(svm->vmsa);

And while I'm thinking of it, the next patch should ideally free svm->vmsa when
the the guest configures a new VMSA for the vCPU.
