I like source, but I think I'll keep mirror. I think it captures the
current state
of it better--this isn't it's own full featured sev vm, in a sense
it's a reflection of
the source.

Unless everyone found this confusing?

Nice. Yeah, I've flipped it around as per Paolo's point and this problem goes
away.

I agree the mirror should never be running operations on the source. I
don't know
that holding the fd instead of the kvm makes that much better though, are there
advantages to that I'm not seeing?

It seems like we can keep this a lot simpler and easier to reason about by not
allowing mirrors to pin memory or do psp commands. That was the intent. We
don't gain anything but complexity by allowing this to be a fully featured SEV
VM. Unless anyone can think of a good reason we'd want to have a mirror
vm be able to do more than this?

I'd prefer to leave this as a capability in the same way the
register_enc_region calls
work. Moving it into mem_enc_ops means we'll have to do some messy locking
to avoid race conditions with the second vm since kvm gets locked in enc_ops.
Also seems wierd to me having this hack grouped in with all the PSP commands.
If i'm the only one that thinks this is cleaner, I'll move it though.

Interesting about the platform, too. If you're sure we'll never need
to build this for
any other platform I'll at least rename it to be amd specific. There's
no non-sev
scenario anyone can think of that might want to do this?
