I was thinking userspace would hold the lock across SEV_CMD_SNP_GUEST_REQUEST.
QEMU:
a) readlock vlek.cert
b) copy cert into guest buffer
c) set kvm_run->immediate_exit
d) invoke KVM_RUN
e) KVM sends SEV_CMD_SNP_GUEST_REQUEST to PSP
f) KVM exits to userspace with -EINTR
g) unlock vlek.cert
h) invoke KVM_RUN (resume the guest)

Shoving something into the kernel is not a "reference implementation", especially
not when it impacts the ABI of multiple subsystems.
