Here's a diff ontop of yours with a couple of points:

* I've named the low-level, interrupts-enabled workers
__sev_get_ghcb()/__sev_put_ghcb() to mean a couple of things:

** underscored to mean, that callers need to disable local locks. There's
also a lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() to make sure, both in the get and
put function.

** also only "sev" in the name because this code is not used for SEV-ES
only anymore.

* I've done it this way because you have a well-recognized code pattern
where the caller disables interrupts, calls the low-level helpers and
then enables interrupts again when done. VS passing a flags pointer back
and forth which just looks weird.

And as to being easy to use - users can botch flags too, when passing
around so they can just as well do proper interrupts toggling like a
gazillion other places in the kernel.

Also, you have places like exc_vmm_communication() where you have
to artifically pass in flags - I'm looking at your previous version
- even if you already make sure interrupts are disabled with the
BUG_ON assertion on entry. So in those cases you can simply call the
interrupt-enabled, __-variants.

Btw, while we're on exc_vmm_communication, it has a:

	BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled());

on entry and then later

	lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled();

and that second assertion is not really needed, methinks. So a hunk
below removes it.

Thoughts?
