CRYPTO_DEV_CCP_DD - this still doesn't belong here. KVM_AMD_SEV doesn't
care about what kind of functionality the PSP needs to function and
select it - it should only depend on a single symbol.

Now, you can add a separate CRYPTO .config item which collects all
required functionality for SEV guests and have KVM_AMD_SEV depend
on that. Or a similar solution. But not have KVM_AMD_SEV poke into
CRYPTO...PSP dependencies because it doesn't need to know about it.

Thx.
