Why add both allow_debug() and vmsa_encrypted?  I assume there are scenarios
where allow_debug() != vmsa_encrypted?  E.g. is there a debug mode for SEV-ES
where the VMSA is not encrypted, but KVM (ironically) can't intercept #DBs or
something?

Alternatively, have you explored using a new VM_TYPE for SEV-ES guests?  With
a genericized vmsa_encrypted, that would allow something like the following
for scenarios where the VMSA is not (yet?) encrypted for an SEV-ES guest.  I
don't love bleeding the VM type into x86.c, but for one-off quirks like this
I think it'd be preferable to adding a kvm_x86_ops hook.

int kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_guest_debug(...)
{
	if (vcpu->arch.guest_state_protected ||
	    kvm->arch.vm_type == KVM_X86_SEV_ES_VM)
		return -EINVAL;
}
