I will try to see what I can come up with to make it easy to read.

The handle_guest_request() uses the VMGEXIT_GUEST_REQUEST which does not
require the memory for the certificate blobs etc. But based on your
earlier comment that we should let the driver use the VMGEXIT code
rather than enum will help in this case. I will be reworking
handle_guest_request() so that it can be used for both the cases (with
and without certificate).
