Do you really want to do this for _all_ KVM guests?

I'd expect this call to be conditional on TDX or SEV-SNP.

I was confused by this as well.

Shouldn't mtrr_overwrite_state() be named something more like:

	guest_force_mtrr_state()

or something?

The mtrr_overwrite_state() comment is pretty good, but it looks quite
confusing from the caller.

I can submit a following up patch with rename if it is fine.


Fine with me.
