Merge branch 'kvm-sev-move-context' into kvm-master
Add support for AMD SEV and SEV-ES intra-host migration support. Intra host migration provides a low-cost mechanism for userspace VMM upgrades. In the common case for intra host migration, we can rely on the normal ioctls for passing data from one VMM to the next. SEV, SEV-ES, and other confidential compute environments make most of this information opaque, and render KVM ioctls such as "KVM_GET_REGS" irrelevant. As a result, we need the ability to pass this opaque metadata from one VMM to the next. The easiest way to do this is to leave this data in the kernel, and transfer ownership of the metadata from one KVM VM (or vCPU) to the next. In-kernel hand off makes it possible to move any data that would be unsafe/impossible for the kernel to hand directly to userspace, and cannot be reproduced using data that can be handed to userspace.
