 The number of ASIDs gives the maximum number of confidential guests for each

+{pve} probes the host's Secure Processor at boot and exposes the data that is
+needed to attest a confidential guest through the API:
+
+----
+# pvesh get /nodes/{node}/capabilities/qemu/sev
+----
+
+This reports the chip unique ID and the reported TCB security patch levels.
+Together they identify the Versioned Chip Endorsement Key (VCEK) that the
+firmware uses to sign attestation reports on this host. A remote attestation
+service can use this information to fetch the matching certificate from AMD's
+Key Distribution Service.
