Never say "This patch" in a commit message of a patch. It is
tautologically useless.

Also, I can see what the patch does from the hunk below. What is more
important to explain in the commit message is *why* you're doing what
you're doing.

Is this the accepted way to do this in KVM land or can you simply access
all members directly:

	kvm->arch.sev_info.<member>

Because I see stuff like that:

static void kvm_gen_update_masterclock(struct kvm *kvm)
{
	...

        struct kvm_arch *ka = &kvm->arch;

        spin_lock(&ka->pvclock_gtod_sync_lock);

and

	struct kvm_lapic *apic = svm->vcpu.arch.apic;

	...

	kvm_lapic_reg_write(apic, APIC_ICR2, icrh);

so why do you need the accessors?
