We already have sev_issue_cmd_external_user() exported right?
Another option could be to make these wrappers more helpful and less silly. For example callers need to know the PSP command format right now, see sev_guest_decommission().
int sev_guest_decommission(struct sev_data_decommission *data, int *error)
Instead of taking @data this function could just take inputs to create sev_data_decommission:
