Protected virtualization/IBM Secure Execution for Linux protects
guest memory and state from the host.

Add some basic information about technology and a brief guide
on setting up secure guests with libvirt.

I'd suggest calling this  s390_protected_virt.rst
We can do that.

"s390 Protected virtualization"  as the title

The terminology that was used in the KVM upstream code is simply protected
virtualization without a prefix, so I'd avoid creating a new denomination in
libvirt.

Putting an "s390" prefix on this isn't inventing new terminology - it is
just making it obvious to users what target it applies to.

Daniel & Viktor: Would calling it "Protected virtualization on s390" serve both of you?


Alternatively we could use the (unmodified) marketing name "IBM Secure
Execution for Linux" here and below in the RST and reverse the "also known
as" sentence in the overview.

That's even worse IMHO. Just put an s390 prefix on the current text.

Regards,
Daniel
