When trying this series, the sevguest module didn't load (and printed no
error message).  After adding some debug messages, I found that the
crypto_alloc_read() call returned an error.  I found out that
CONFIG_CRYPTO_GCM was disabled in my config.

Consider modifying sevguest/Kconfig to force it in:



diff --git a/drivers/virt/coco/sevguest/Kconfig b/drivers/virt/coco/sevguest/Kconfig
index 2be45820e86c..74ca1fe09437 100644

+       depends on AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT
+       select CRYPTO_AEAD2
+       select CRYPTO_GCM
        help
          SEV-SNP firmware provides the guest a mechanism to communicate with
          the PSP without risk from a malicious hypervisor who wishes to read,



Another thing to consider is to add messages to the various error paths
in snp_guest_probe().  Not sure what is the common practice in other modules.
