Almost anything can be done with software. It would require a lot of
hypervisor and guest code and changes to the GHCB spec, etc. So given
that, probably just the check for arch.guest_state_protected is enough for
now. I'll just need to be sure none of the debugging paths can be taken
before the VMSA is encrypted.
