Version 2 of the spec adds bunch of NAEs, and several of them are optional except the hyervisor features NAE. IMO, a guest should bump the GHCB version only after it has implemented all the required NAEs from the version 2. It may help during the git bisect of the guest kernel -- mainly when the hypervisor supports the higher version.
Aha, so AFAICT, the version bump should happen in patch 3 which adds
that HV features NAE - not in a separate one after that. The logic
being, with the patch which adds the functionality needed, you mark the
guest as supporting v2.
