One more I should mention:

    cached/stored values thereafter, or perhaps a "shadow" copy could be

Yeah, this is a big one. Considering that a lot of the selftests are for specific bugs, the benefit in running them with SEV is relatively low. That said, there could be some simple tests where it makes sense, so it'd be nice to plan a little ahead so that it isn't _too_ difficult.
