I agree but what is wrong with that?
This is a debug feature, and it only can be enabled by the root,
and so someone might actually want this case to happen
(e.g to see if a SEV guest can cope with extra #VC exceptions).
I have nothing against not allowing this for SEV-ES guests though.
What do you think?
