[PATCH v2 2/9] KVM: SEV: Extract loading of guest-provided VMSA to a separate helper

From: Sean Christopherson

Date: Fri Jun 26 2026 - 19:15:24 EST


Extract the loading/retrieval of a guest-provided VMSA to a separate helper
so that KVM can reuse the core logic when refreshing the VMSA after an MMU
invalidation from guest_memfd.

No functional change intended.
