No, this patch belongs in the SNP series. The hanlding of vmsa_pa is broken
(KVM leaks the page set by the guest; I need to follow-up in the SNP series).
On top of that, I detest duplicat variables, and I don't like that KVM keeps its
original VMSA (kernel allocation) after the guest creates its own.
I can't possibly imagine why this needs to be pulled in early. There's no way
TDX needs this, and while this patch is _small_, the functional change it leads
to is not.
