Rather say 'APM v2, section "Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP)"' because
the numbering is more likely to change than the name in the future. With
the name, people can find it faster.

I'm guessing this is all for live migration between SNP hosts. If so,
then there will have to be a guest API to handle the differences.

Does that mean that even on CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=n kernels, host SNP
can function?

Do we even want that?

I'd expect that a host SNP kernel should have SME enabled too even
though it is not absolutely necessary.

Ignored review comments here:

Ignoring this one for now too.
