From: Paulo de Rezende Pinatti <ppinatti at linux.ibm.com>
Implement secure guest check for AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted
Virtualization) in order to invalidate the qemu capabilities
cache in case the availability of the feature changed.
For AMD SEV the verification consists of:
- checking if /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/sev contains the
value '1': meaning SEV is enabled in the host kernel;
- checking if the kernel cmdline contains 'mem_encrypt=on': meaning
SME memory encryption feature on the host is enabled
