But this is what we expect that KVM_SEV_INIT will fail. In this case, 
sev_asid_new() will not actually

try to reclaim any ASIDs as sev_misc_cg_try_charge() will fail before 
any ASID bitmap walking/reclamation and

return an error which will eventually return -EBUSY to the user.

But that is already the behavior without this patch applied.

No, this ensures that we don't advertise any SEV capability if neither 
SEV/SEV-ES or in future SNP is enabled.

This will still return -EBUSY to user. This check here or the failure 
return from sev_misc_cg_try_charge() are quite similar in that sense.

My point is that the same is achieved quite cleanly with 
sev_misc_cg_try_charge() too.

We are not showing min and max ASIDs for SEV as {0,0} with this patch as 
sev_supported is true ?

Thanks, Ashish
