Yeah, that works.  Though I would condition the check on guest_state_protected.
Actually, and this is going to seem really stupid, but everything will Just Work
if you use kvm_get_linear_rip() and kvm_is_linear_rip(), because kvm_get_linear_rip()
returns '0' for vCPUs with protected state.  I.e. KVM will do a rather superfluous
cui() callback, but otherwise it's fine.  Silly, but in many ways preferable to
special casing ES and SNP guests.

On a related topic, can you add a refacotring prep patch to move linear_rip out
of kvm_pio_request and place it next to complete_userspace_io?  There's nothing
port I/O specific about that field, it just so happens to that port I/O is the
only case where KVM's ABI is to let userspace stuff state (to emulate RESET)
without first completing the I/O instruction.

I.e.
