The caller's VMPL number. Each VMPL have different communicate keys,
please see the secrets page layout as described in the SEV-SNP firmware
spec 8.14.2.5[1].

As indicated in the cover letter, the guest and hypervisor patches are
targeted to for VMPL0 so we are using sequence number and key from the
vmpl0 only.
