Should way say what it will be set to? Also Sean pointed out on CCP
driver that 0 is strange to set the error to, its a uint so we cannot
do -1 like we did there. What about all FFs?
Sure, all FF's works, I can document and use it.

I may be overly paranoid here but how about
`lockdep_assert_held(&snp_cmd_mutex);` when writing or reading
directly from this data?
Sure, I can do it.

This looks great, thanks for changes Brijesh. Should we mention in
comment here or at snp_disable_vmpck() the AES-GCM issues with
continuing to use the key? Or will future updaters to this code
understand already?
Sure, I can add comment about the AES-GCM.

Did you want to include MSG_ABSORB_NOMA_REQ and MSG_ABSORB_NOMA_RESP here?
Yes, I can includes those for the completeness.

Are we missing the 'vmpl' field here? Does those default all requests
to be signed with VMPL0? Users might want to change that, they could
be using a paravisor.
Good question, so far I was thinking that guest kernel will provide its
vmpl level instead of accepted the vmpl level from the userspace. Do you
see a need for a userspace to provide this information ?
That seems fine. I am just confused because we are just encrypting
this struct as the payload for the PSP. Doesn't the message require a
struct that looks like 'snp_report_req_user_data' below?

snp_report_req{
       /* message version number (must be non-zero) */
       __u8 msg_version;

      /* user data that should be included in the report */
       struct snp_report_req_user_data;
};

struct snp_report_req_user_data {
  u8 user_data[64];
  u32 vmpl;
  u32 reserved;
};
