I looked at kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() and
kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() and kvm_arch_commit_memory_region()
looks to be ideal to use for this.

I walked the kvm_memslots in this function and i can compute the
approximate guest RAM mapped by KVM, though, i get the guest RAM size as
"twice" the configured size because of the two address spaces on x86 KVM,
i believe there is one additional address space for SMM/SMRAM use.

I don't think we have a use case of migrating a SEV guest with SMM
support ?

Considering that, i believe that i can just compute the guest RAM size
using memslots for address space #0 and use that to grow/shrink the bitmap.

As you mentioned i will need to add a new SVM specific x86_ops to
callback as part of kvm_arch_commit_memory_region() which will in-turn
call sev_resize_page_enc_bitmap().

Ashish
