But won't this also do an SEV init as long as init_on_probe is true? And
isn't this true for even non-SEV VMs? You have to pause all VMs before
performing SNP INIT. In which case I don't see the point of this
comment. I think you really just want to say:

	/*
	 * Always perform SEV initialization at setup time to avoid
	 * complications with performing SEV initialization later
	 * (such as suspending active guests, etc.).
	 */

Not that that is much better... but it's more accurate.

Thanks,
Tom
