SEV guests rely on an encyption bit which resides within the range that
current code treats as address bits. Guest code will expect these bits
to be set appropriately in their page tables, whereas helpers like
addr_gpa2hva() will expect these bits to be masked away prior to
translation. Add proper handling for these cases.

This is not what you're doing below in addr_gpa2hva, though---or did I misunderstand?

I may be wrong due to not actually having written the code, but I'd prefer if most of these APIs worked only if the C bit has already been stripped. In general it's quite unlikely for host code to deal with C=1 pages, so it's worth pointing out explicitly the cases where it does.
