AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT implies SEV support, which now relies on support provided by the KVM_PROTECTED_VM config option. An argument can be made that SEV running in non-protected-VM-mode is still possible, and so this should be configurable, but AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT will also imply SEV-SNP, for which KVM_PROTECTED_VM is required in all cases.
