This Patch is for enabling AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted
Virtualization) support in QEMU

VM-Config-Examples:
amd_sev: type=std,nodbg=1,noks=1
amd_sev: es,nodbg=1,kernel-hashes=1

Node-Config-Example (gets generated automatically):
amd_sev: cbitpos=47,reduced-phys-bios=1

kernel-hashes, reduced-phys-bios & cbitpos correspond to the varibles
with the same name in qemu.

kernel-hashes=1 adds kernel-hashes to enable measured linux kernel
launch since it is per default off for backward compatibility.

reduced-phys-bios and cbitpos are system specific and can be read out
with QMP. If not set by the user, a dummy-vm gets started to read QMP
for these variables out and save them to the node config.
Afterwards the dummy-vm gets stopped.

type=std stands for standard sev to differentiate it from sev-es (es)
or sev-snp (snp) when support is upstream.

Qemu's sev-guest policy gets calculated with the parameters nodbg & noks
These parameters correspond to policy-bits 0 & 1.
If type=es than policy-bit 2 gets set to 1 to activate SEV-ES.
Policy bit 3 (nosend) is always set to 1, because migration
features for sev are not upstream yet and are attackable.

I still could not get SEV-ES to work.
After a firmware update I got the same error like Daniel in his testing:
kvm: ../softmmu/vl.c:2568: qemu_machine_creation_done: Assertion `machine->cgs->ready' failed.

v3:
* moved parameters to node config
* created get_sev_parameters_from_node function
* added policy calculation

v2:
* spelling of minimum
* !$conf->{bios} eq 'ovmf' changed to $conf->{bios} ne 'ovmf'

+[[qm_memory_encryption_sev]]
+AMD SEV
+^^^^^^^
+
+SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) enables Memory Encryption per VM using
+AES-128 Encryption and the AMD Secure Processor.
+
+SEV-ES (Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State) in addition encrypts
+all CPU register contents when a VM stops running, to prevent leakage of
+information to the hypervisor.
+
+*Host Requirements:*
+
+* AMD EPYC/Ryzen PRO
+* SEV-ES is only supported on AMD EPYC 7xx2 and newer
+* configured SEV BIOS settings on Host Machine
+* add "kvm_amd.sev=1" to kernel parameters if not enabled by default
+* add "mem_encrypt=on" to kernel parameters if you want to encrypt memory on the
+host (SME)
+see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/amd-memory-encryption.txt
+* maybe increase SWIOTLB see https://github.com/AMDESE/AMDSEV#faq-4
+
+To check if SEV is enabled on the host search for `sev` in dmesg
+and print out the SEV kernel parameter of kvm_amd:
+
+----
+# dmesg | grep -i sev
+[...] ccp 0000:45:00.1: sev enabled
+[...] ccp 0000:45:00.1: SEV API: <buildversion>
+[...] SEV supported: <number> ASIDs
+[...] SEV-ES supported: <number> ASIDs
+# cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/sev
+Y
+----
+
+Node Configuration (/etc/pve/nodes/mona/config):
+
+----
+amd_sev: cbitpos=47,reduced-phys-bits=1
+----
+
+*reduced-phys-bios* and *cbitpos* correspond to the variables with the
+same name in qemu. They are system specific and can be read out
+with QMP. If not set, qm starts a dummy-vm to read QMP
+for these variables out and saves them to config.
+
+*Guest Requirements:*
+
+* edk2-OVMF
+* advisable to use Q35
+* The guest operating system must contain SEV-support.
+* If there are problems while booting (stops at blank/splash screen)
+try to add virtio-rng.
+
+*Limitations:*
+
+* Because the memory is encrypted the memory usage on host is always wrong.
+* Operations that involve saving or restoring memory like snapshots
+& live migration do not work yet or are attackable.
+https://github.com/PSPReverse/amd-sev-migration-attack
+* PCI passthrough is not supported.
+* Qemu & AMD-SEV documentation is very limited.
+* Nested virtualization and kvm is not supported under SEV-ES.
+
+Example Configuration:
+
+----
+# qm set <vmid> -amd_sev type=std,nodbg=1,noks=1,kernel-hashes=1
+----
+
+*type* defines the encryption technology ("type=" is not necessary).
+Available options: std, es
+
+The Qemu *policy* parameter gets calculated with the *nodbg* and *noks*
+parameters.
+These parameters correspond to policy-bit 0 and 1.
+If *type* is *es* the policy-bit 2 is set to 1 so that SEV-ES is enabled.
+Policy-bit 3 (nosend) is always set to 1 to prevent migration-attacks.
+For more information on how to calculate the policy see:
+https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/55766_SEV-KM_API_Specification.pdf[AMD SEV API Specification Chapter 3]
+
+The *kernel-hashes* is per default off for backward compatibility with older OVMF images
+and guests that do not measure the kernel/initrd.
+See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-11/msg02598.html
+
+*Check if SEV is working on the guest*
+
+Method 1 - dmesg:
+
+Output should look like this.
+
+----
+# dmesg | grep -i sev
+AMD Memory Encryption Features active: SEV
+----
+
+Method 2 - MSR 0xc0010131 (MSR_AMD64_SEV):
+
+Output should be 1.

This was one of the main turn-offs for me, but maybe the situation change
here w.r.t newer HW, kernel and QEMU support.

Can you please re-test this rather soonish? E.g. with kernel 6.5 and 6.8,
also trying a newer QEMU like Fiona's 8.2 build and our newer AMD based
HW would be good to check out.
