Define more #NPF error code flags that are relevant to SEV+ (mostly SNP)
guests, as specified by the APM:
* Bit 31 (RMP): Set to 1 if the fault was caused due to an RMP check or a
VMPL check failure, 0 otherwise.
* Bit 34 (ENC): Set to 1 if the guest’s effective C-bit was 1, 0 otherwise.
* Bit 35 (SIZEM): Set to 1 if the fault was caused by a size mismatch between
PVALIDATE or RMPADJUST and the RMP, 0 otherwise.
* Bit 36 (VMPL): Set to 1 if the fault was caused by a VMPL permission
check failure, 0 otherwise.
Note, the APM is *extremely* misleading, and strongly implies that the
above flags can _only_ be set for #NPF exits from SNP guests. That is a
lie, as bit 34 (C-bit=1, i.e. was encrypted) can be set when running _any_
flavor of SEV guest on SNP capable hardware.

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 reStructuredText 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.
