Please do non-trivial code movement in separate patches unless the functional change
is trivial. Moving and changing at the same time makes the patch difficult to review.

Needs to be 0444, otherwise userspace can turn on the knob after KVM is loaded,
which would allow enabling the feature on unsupported platforms, amongst many
other problems.

Blech, the VMCB vs. SEV and SEV-ES code is a mess. E.g. init_vmcb() does

/*
* Guest access to VMware backdoor ports could legitimately
* trigger #GP because of TSS I/O permission bitmap.
* We intercept those #GP and allow access to them anyway
* as VMware does. Don't intercept #GP for SEV guests as KVM can't
* decrypt guest memory to decode the faulting instruction.
*/
if (enable_vmware_backdoor && !sev_guest(vcpu->kvm))
set_exception_intercept(svm, GP_VECTOR);

but then sev_es_init_vmcb() also does:

/* No support for enable_vmware_backdoor */
clr_exception_intercept(svm, GP_VECTOR);

DR interception is a similar trainwreck. svm_sync_dirty_debug_regs() bails if
guest_state_protected is true, i.e. is a nop for SEV-ES guests, but only after
the vCPU has done LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA. IIUC, that's nonsensical because even before
guest state is encrypted, #DB will be reflected as #VC into the guest. And, again
IIUC, except for DR7, DRs are never intercepted for SEV-ES guests and so trying
to debug from the host is futile as the guest can clobber DRs at any time.

Similarly, flowing into dr_interception() on an SEV-ES VMGEXITis just dumb. KVM
_knows_ it can't give the guest control of DR7, but it mucks with the intercepts
anyways. That the GHCB spec even allows SVM_EXIT_{READ,WRITE}_DR7 is just asinine,
but that's a moot point. Anyways, the GHCB spec's "suggestion" effectively says
KVM's responsibility is purely to make a read of DR7 return the last written value.
And of course KVM's disaster of a flow doesn't even do that unless the host is
debugging the guest.

Currently, hardware debug traps aren’t supported for an SEV-ES guest. The hypervisor
must set the intercept for both read and write of the debug control register (DR7).
With the intercepts in place, the #VC handler will be invoked when the guest accesses
DR7. For a write to DR7, the #VC handler should perform Standard VMGExit processing.
The #VC handler must not update the actual DR7 register, but rather it should cache
the DR7 value being written.

I bring this up because of the subtle dependency that checking SVM_SEV_FEAT_DEBUG_SWAP
creates: set_dr_intercepts() needs to be called after sev_init_vmcb(). I believe
this approach also fails to handle intrahost migration; at the very least, what
exactly will happen when sev_migrate_from() invokes sev_init_vmcb() is unclear.
And I really don't want to pile even more gunk on top of the existing mess.

So, can you (and by "you" I really mean "the folks at AMD working on SEV stuff")
start with the below diff (not intended to be a single patch), disallow
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_guest_debug() entirely for SEV-ES guests (will likely
take some back and forth to figure out how we want to do this), and then fill
in the blanks? I.e. get KVM to a state where all the intercept shenanigans for
SEV and SEV-ES are reasonably contained in sev.c, and then enable the debug_swap
stuff on top?
