This already is starting to sound insufficient and hacky. And it also makes
CC_ATTR_ACCESS_IOAPIC_ENCRYPTED insufficient either.

So, the situation we have is, we're a SEV-SNP VM using vTOM. Which means,
MSR_AMD64_SEV[3] = 1. Or SEV_FEATURES[1], alternatively - same thing.

That MSR cannot be intercepted by the HV and we use it extensively in Linux when
it runs as a SEV-* guest. And I had asked this before, during review, but why
aren't you checking this bit above when you wanna do vTOM-specific work?

Because then you can do that check and

1. map the IO-APIC encrypted
2. map MMIO space of devices from the driver encrypted too
3. ...

and so on.

And you won't need those other, not as nice things...

Hmmm.
