Update the SNP_FEATURES_PRESENT mask with MSR_AMD64_SNP_DEBUG_SWAP so
an SNP guest doesn't gracefully terminate during SNP feature negotiation
if MSR_AMD64_SEV_DEBUG_SWAP is enabled.

Since a guest is not expected to receive a #VC on DR7 accesses when
MSR_AMD64_SEV_DEBUG_SWAP is enabled, return an error from the #VC
handler in this situation.

Can you post this separately (or bribe Boris to grab it)? IIUC, this has no
dependency on the KVM enabling, i.e. can/should go through the tip tree without
waiting for the KVM patches to be applied.

I definitely can, do you mind adding yours "rb"/"ab"? Thanks!
