A host/hypervisor will never see GUEST related attributes return true, you 
need to verify all uses of X86_FEATURE_SEV* in the kernel. I see two files 
where this change will break SEV hypervisor support:

- arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c / sev_hardware_setup()
- drivers/crypto/ccp/sev-dev.c / sev_dev_init()

I imagine that some of this has to be re-thought a bit. The current SEV 
and SEV-ES feature attributes are intended for hypervsior side usage.  For 
example, MSR MSR_K7_HWCR_SMMLOCK, which is likely never going to be 
provided to a guest, needs to be checked to be certain that an SEV guest 
can be launched, even though SEV is advertised in CPUID.

Once in the guest, it is the cc_platform_has() support that determines 
feature support and not X86_FEATURE_SEV*

Thanks,
Tom
