Sure.

On AMD platform we have two types SEV and SEV-ES which can exists
simultaneously and they have their own quota.

This is to just say that when Intel and PowerPC changes are ready it
won't be difficult for them to add their controller.

We are not moving charges when a task moves out. This can lead us to the
cases where all of the tasks in the cgroup have moved out but it
still has charges. In that scenarios cgroup can be deleted. Taking a
reference will make sure cgroup is atleast present internally.
Also, struct encryption_ic_cgroup has a reference to the cgroup which is
used during uncharge call to correctly identify from which cgroup charge
should be deducted.

-EBUSY is not valid anymore. We can now set max to be less than the usage. I
will remove it in the next patch.

This is for the stat file which will only be seen in the root cgroup
directory. It is to know overall picture for the resource, what is the
total capacity and what is the current usage. ".current" file is not
shown on the root cgroup.
This information is good for resource allocation in the cloud
infrastructure.
