That's not enough. If you wanted to be able to mirror SEV-ES you'd
also need to call LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA on the mirror's vCPUs before
SEV_LAUNCH_FINISH. That is do-able but I was writing a small change to
fix this bug. If mirroring of SEV-ES is wanted it's a much bigger
change.

sev_guest() implies sev_es_guest() so I think this case is covered.
