The snp_guest_msg structure is zero'ed before building the hdr and
copying the user provided input, see enc_payload. The patch series was
focused on vmpl-0 only I didn't consider anything other than vmpl-. Let
me work to provide the option for userspace to provide the vmpl as an
input during the request so that we give the flexibility to userspace.
