is_protected_guest() is a helper function added to check for VM guest type
(protected or normal). Andi is going to add some security hardening code in
virto and other some other generic drivers. He wants a helper function to
selective enable them for all protected guests. Since these are generic
drivers we need generic (non arch specific) helper call. is_protected_guest()
is proposed for this purpose.

We can also use protected_guest_has(VM_VIRTIO_SECURE_FIX) or something
similar for this purpose. Andi, any comments?

IMHO, its better to use above generic config option in common header
file (linux/protected_guest.h). Any architecture that implements
protected guest feature can enable it. This will help is hide arch
specific config options in arch specific header file.

This seems to be a cleaner solution than including ARCH specific
CONFIG option options in common header file (linux/protected_guest.h)

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PROTECTED_GUEST
#include <asm/protected_guest.h>
#else
blah
#endif

is better than

#ifdef (AMD)
amd_call()
#endif

#ifdef (INTEL)
intel_call()
#endif

#ifdef (ARM)
arm_call()
#endif
