When SEV-SNP is enabled in the guest, the hardware places restrictions
on all memory accesses based on the contents of the RMP table. When
hardware encounters RMP check failure caused by the guest memory access
it raises the #NPF. The error code contains additional information on
the access type. See the APM volume 2 for additional information.

When using gmem, RMP faults resulting from mismatches between the state
in the RMP table vs. what the guest expects via its page table result
in KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULTs being forwarded to userspace to handle. This
means the only expected case that needs to be handled in the kernel is
when the page size of the entry in the RMP table is larger than the
mapping in the nested page table, in which case a PSMASH instruction
needs to be issued to split the large RMP entry into individual 4K
entries so that subsequent accesses can succeed.
