What is the practical purpose of this test?
In the current QEMU/KVM implementation the SEV* CPUID bits are only
exposed for SEV guests, so this was more of a sanity check on that. But
looking at things more closely: that's more of a VMM-specific behavior
and isn't necessarily an invalid guest configuration as far as the spec
is concerned, so I think this check should be dropped.

Will do.
Also, could you please remove the references to set_sev_encryption_mask()
at lines 195 and 572? And perhaps reword those comments too?
