Would it make sense to split the SEV-* feature family into their own
config flag(s) ?
I'm thinking in the context of SEV-SNP running on systems with
Transparent SME enabled in the bios. In this case, enabling
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT will also enable SME in the kernel, which is a
bit strange and not necessarily useful.
Commit 4e2c87949f2b ("crypto: ccp - When TSME and SME both detected
notify user") highlights it.
