Can we agree on a convention here to denote SEV-ES and later
variants VS earlier ones so that you don't have "SEV-ES" in the name
sev_es_save_area but to mean that this applies to SNP and future stuff
too?

What about SEV-only guests? I'm assuming those use the old variant.

Which would mean you can call this

struct prot_guest_save_area

or so, so that it doesn't have "sev" in the name and so that there's no
confusion...

Ditto for the size defines.

Not SEV-ES only anymore, so I guess sev_snp_sync_vmca() or so.

Ditto - nomenclature.

^^^^^^^^^^

typo. Might as well fix while at it.
