Yes. I let a problem I was trying to solve in 3/3 leak out here. I'll describe 
the problem when responding to 3/3.

I'll include this and look at other doc improvements in V2.

 From libvirt perspective, I can document the entire workflow in the existing 
SEV kbase article, but will need to gain some hands on experience beforehand. 
That can be done independent of this series.
