This should assert that userspace wanted the guest to be able to make
these calls (see more below).

Looking at this, I believe the only way for this bit to get enabled is
if userspace toggles it. There needs to be a way for userspace to
identify if the kernel underneath them does, in fact, support SEV LM.
I'm at risk for having misread these patches (it's a long series), but
I don't see anything that communicates upwards.

This could go upward with the other paravirt features flags in
cpuid.c. It could also be an explicit KVM Capability (checked through
check_extension).

Userspace should then have a chance to decide whether or not this
should be enabled. And when it's not enabled, the host should return a
GP in response to the hypercall. This could be configured either
through userspace stripping out the LM feature bit, or by calling a VM
scoped enable cap (KVM_VM_IOCTL_ENABLE_CAP).

I believe the typical path for a feature like this to be configured
would be to use ENABLE_CAP.
