We can do that.

The terminology that was used in the KVM upstream code is simply 
protected virtualization without a prefix, so I'd avoid creating a new 
denomination in libvirt.
Alternatively we could use the (unmodified) marketing name "IBM Secure 
Execution for Linux" here and below in the RST and reverse the "also 
known as" sentence in the overview.
