Why is that?

Yeah, you keep wanting to expose random SEV-specific code and when we
go and change it in the future, you'll come complaining that we broke
hyperv.
I think it might be a lot better if you implement your own functions:
for example, looking at sev_es_negotiate_protocol() - it uses only
primitives which you can use because, well, VMGEXIT() is simply a
wrapper around the asm insn and sev_es_wr_ghcb_msr() is simply writing
into the MSR.
Ditto for sev_es_terminate().
And sev_es_ghcb_hv_call() too, for that matter. You can define your own.
IOW, you're much better off using those primitives and creating your own
functions than picking out random SEV-functions and then us breaking
your isolation VM stuff.
Thx.
