Right, mainly the ability to be able to issue an AP reset hold from a mode
that would not be able to access the GHCB as a shared page, e.g. 32-bit
mode without paging enabled where reads/writes are always encrypted for an
SEV guest.

I suppose it could be, but then the type would have to be tracked in the
kvm_vcpu_arch struct instead of the vcpu_svm struct, so I opted for the
latter. Maybe a helper function, sev_ap_reset_hold(), that sets the type
and then calls kvm_emulate_ap_reset_hold(), but I'm not seeing a big need
for it.

Joerg pulled this patch out and submitted it as part of a small, three
patch series, so it might be best to address this in general in the
SEV-SNP patches or as a follow-on series specifically for this re-work.

This is writing to the VMCB that is then used to set the value of the
guest MSR. I don't see anything done in general for writes to the VMCB, so
I wouldn't think this should be any different.

Hmmm... not sure I see where the guest contents are being preserved.

Yes, it could be, maybe even an enum and let the compiler decide on the size.
