So I think you should step back, get a pen and paper and think about the
design of what is going to be exported from sev.c to sev-guest, write it down
and run it by folks first before you go code.
Because right now it feels like a waste of time for everybody involved.
I still have no clue what is going on - just a rough idea.
Also, looking forward:
Subject: [PATCH v10 13/24] x86/sev: Make sev-guest driver functional again
That's a no-no.
You can't have a broken kernel at some point in the patch series. Unless you
can't really avoid it. And I don't think there's a problem here: you define
the interfaces and switch sev-guest to them in one last patch.
