QEMU will currently automatically make use of the KVM_SEV_INIT2 API for
initializing SEV and SEV-ES guests verses the older
KVM_SEV_INIT/KVM_SEV_ES_INIT interfaces.
However, the older interfaces will silently avoid sync'ing FPU/XSAVE
state to the VMSA prior to encryption, thus relying on behavior and
measurements that assume the related fields to be allow zero.
With KVM_SEV_INIT2, this state is now synced into the VMSA, resulting in
measurements changes and, theoretically, behaviorial changes, though the
latter are unlikely to be seen in practice.
To allow a smooth transition to the newer interface, while still
providing a mechanism to maintain backward compatibility with VMs
created using the older interfaces, provide a new command-line
parameter:
-object sev-guest,legacy-vm-type=true,...
and have it default to false.
