Please read what I wrote. I did not say it's broken if CTH is enabled. I said
it's broken if CTH isn't supported, i.e. is disabled.
snp_max_snp_asid isn't sanitized if CTH is unsupported or disabled by userspace,
and so KVM will compute the wrong min_sev_asid if snp_max_snp_asid is non-zero,
even though snp_max_snp_asid has no bearing on reality.

Sorry, s/param/variable. Doesn't need to be user visible.
