IMHO, Paolo's patch make sense; it removes all the SEV specific code
when KVM_AMD_SEV=n. It saves ~4K in text section.

Paolo,

Does it make sense to move all the SEV specific code in svm-sev.c ?
I am looking to add SEV migration support very soon, and can see
myself adding more SEV command handling which will grow svm.c further.
