Does this need to use __sme_page_pa()?

Yes, it should now. The SEV-ES support added the SME encryption bit to the MSR_VM_HSAVE_PA MSR, so we need to be consistent in how the data is read and written.

Oh, and also in svm_vcpu_load().

Thanks,
Tom

This VMLOAD needs the "handle fault on reboot" goo.  Seeing the code, I think
I'd prefer to handle this in C code, especially if Paolo takes the svm_ops.h
patch[*].  Actually, I think with that patch it'd make sense to move the
existing VMSAVE+VMLOAD for the guest into svm.c, too.  And completely unrelated,
the fault handling in svm/vmenter.S can be cleaned up a smidge to eliminate the
JMPs.

Paolo, what do you think about me folding these patches into my series to do the
above cleanups?  And maybe sending a pull request for the end result? (I'd also
like to add on a patch to use the user return MSR mechanism for MSR_TSC_AUX).
