Use proper english words pls.

I have no clue what that means. Example?

The last time we talked about paths, we ended up agreeing on:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/Yg5nh1RknPRwIrb8@xxxxxxx/

So your "helpers related purely to host support" should go to

arch/x86/virt/svm/sev*.c

And just to keep it simple, that should be

arch/x86/virt/svm/sev.c

and if there's real need to split that, we can do that later.

Thx.
