Anyways, tying things back to the actual code being discussed, I vote against
CC_ATTR_PARAVISOR.  Being able to trust device emulation is not unique to a
paravisor.  A single flag also makes too many assumptions about what is trusted
and thus should be accessed encrypted.
I'm not crazy about the alternative either: one flag per access type:
IO APIC, vTPM, and soon.

Soon this will become an unmaintainable zoo of different guest types
people want the kernel to support. I don't think I want that madness in
kernel proper.
