Disable SEV-ES if MMIO caching is disabled as SEV-ES relies on MMIO SPTEs
generating #NPF(RSVD), which are reflected by the CPU into the guest as
a #VC. With SEV-ES, the untrusted host, a.k.a. KVM, doesn't have access
to the guest instruction stream or register state and so can't directly
emulate in response to a #NPF on an emulated MMIO GPA. Disabling MMIO
caching means guest accesses to emulated MMIO ranges cause #NPF(!PRESENT),
and those flavors of #NPF cause automatic VM-Exits, not #VC.
Adjust KVM's MMIO masks to account for the C-bit location prior to doing
SEV(-ES) setup, and document that dependency between adjusting the MMIO
SPTE mask and SEV(-ES) setup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
