Let's see whether I understand...
It's a property of sev-guest and sev-snp-guest objects. These are the
"SEV guest objects".
I guess a sev-snp-guest object implies it's a SEV-SNP guest, and setting
@debug-swap on such an object just works.
With a sev-guest object, it's either a "plain SEV guest" or a "SEV-ES"
guest.
If it's the latter, setting @debug-swap just works.
If it's the former, and you set @debug-swap to true, then KVM
accelerator initialization will fail later on. This might trigger
fallback to TCG.
Am I confused?
