In addition to the kernel module parameter, we probably also need to
check whether QEMU supports the feature. e.g, what if user has newer
kernel but older qemu. e.g kernel > 4.18 but Qemu < 2.12. To check the
SEV feature support, we should verify the following conditions:
1) check kernel module parameter is set
2) check if /dev/sev device exist (aka firmware is detected)
3) Check if Qemu supports SEV feature (maybe we can detect the existence
of the query-sev QMP command or detect Qemu version >= 2.12)
