KVM: SVM: Pin guest memory when SEV is active
The SEV memory encryption engine uses a tweak such that two identical plaintext pages at different location will have different ciphertext. So swapping or moving ciphertext of two pages will not result in plaintext being swapped. Relocating (or migrating) physical backing pages for a SEV guest will require some additional steps. The current SEV key management spec does not provide commands to swap or migrate (move) ciphertext pages. For now, we pin the guest memory registered through KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION ioctl.
