They are needed for the code in arch/x86/kernel/sev-es-shared.c. This
file is used in the pre-decompression boot code and in the running
kernels SEV-ES support.

The running kernel needs these abstraction because it will get #VC
exceptions from user-space and MMIO exits touching user-space addresses.
These functions will implement the necessary security checks.
