Add to the known supported SEV-SNP policy bits that don't require any implementation support from KVM in order to successfully use them. At this time, this includes: - CXL_ALLOW - MEM_AES_256_XTS - RAPL_DIS - CIPHERTEXT_HIDING_DRAM - PAGE_SWAP_DISABLE Arguably, RAPL_DIS and CIPHERTEXT_HIDING_DRAM require KVM and the CCP driver to enable these features in order for the setting of the policy bits to be successfully handled. But, a guest owner may not wish their guest to run on a system that doesn't provide support for those features, so allowing the specification of these bits accomplishes that. Whether or not the bit is supported by SEV firmware, a system that doesn't support these features will either fail during the KVM validation of supported policy bits before issuing the LAUNCH_START or fail during the LAUNCH_START.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
