Ok, so if you put SNP host support into arch/x86/virt/svm/sev.c, that
should work too and won't have any relation to CONFIG_HAS_CC_PLATFORM,
right?

The CC_PLATFORM thing is a way to check for confidential computing guest
features by abstracting the capabilities so that you don't have to check
*each* and *every* conf guest type in the conditionals and thus go nuts.

Thx.
