From: Michael Roth <michael.roth@xxxxxxx> Once KVM_SNP_LAUNCH_FINISH is called the vCPU state is copied into the vCPU's VMSA page and measured/encrypted. Any attempt to read/write CPU state afterward will only be acting on the initial data and so are effectively no-ops. Set the vCPU state to protected at this point so that QEMU don't continue trying to re-sync vCPU data during guest runtime.
