In part1 of SEV patches, we do expand the Documentation/x86/amd-memory-eencryption.txt to explain the SEV architecture feature. In this patch, we focus on documenting the SEV specific changes from the KVM point of view and how it integrate with KVM.

In later part of patches (Patch 24/38 [1]), I expand this doc to provide high level overview of various SEV commands to support common lifecycle events of SEV guests, such as launching, running, snapshotting, migrating etc.
