Oh I misunderstood your suggestion above.

I should make KVM_SEV_INIT happen from kvm_arch_vm_post_create(). Add
VM_MODE_PXXV48_4K_SEV for c-bit setting inside of
kvm_init_vm_address_properties().

Inside of vm_sev_create_with_one_vcpu() I use
__vm_create_with_vcpus(), then call KVM_SEV_LAUNCH_FINISH.

Is that correct?
