From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c532f2903b69b775d27016511fbe29a14a098f95 ] Add a sanity check on DECODEASSIST being support if SEV is supported, as KVM cannot read guest private memory and thus relies on the CPU to provide the instruction byte stream on #NPF for emulation. The intent of the check is to document the dependency, it should never fail in practice as producing hardware that supports SEV but not DECODEASSISTS would be non-sensical.
