Several architectures have mechanisms which are designed to protect guest
memory from interference or eavesdropping by a compromised hypervisor. AMD
SEV does this with in-chip memory encryption and Intel has a similar
mechanism. POWER's Protected Execution Framework (PEF) accomplishes a
similar goal using an ultravisor and new memory protection features,
instead of encryption.
This introduces a new GuestMemoryProtection QOM interface which we'll use
to (partially) unify handling of these various mechanisms.
