KVM: SVM: document KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP, let userspace detect if SEV is available

Userspace has no way to query if SEV has been disabled with the
sev module parameter of kvm-amd.ko.  Actually it has one, but it
is a hack: do ioctl(KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP, NULL) and check if it
returns EFAULT.  Make it a little nicer by returning zero for
SEV enabled and NULL argument, and while at it document the
ioctl arguments.

+The main ioctl to access SEV is KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP.  If the argument
+to KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP is NULL, the ioctl returns 0 if SEV is enabled
+and ``ENOTTY` if it is disabled (on some older versions of Linux,
+the ioctl runs normally even with a NULL argument, and therefore will
+likely return ``EFAULT``).  If non-NULL, the argument to KVM_MEM_ENCRYPT_OP
+must be a struct kvm_sev_cmd::
+
+       struct kvm_sev_cmd {
+               __u32 id;
+               __u64 data;
+               __u32 error;
+               __u32 sev_fd;
+       };
+
+
+The ``id`` field contains the subcommand, and the ``data`` field points to
+another struct containing arguments specific to command.  The ``sev_fd``
+should point to a file descriptor that is opened on the ``/dev/sev``
+device, if needed (see individual commands).
+
+On output, ``error`` is zero on success, or an error code.  Error codes
+are defined in ``<linux/psp-dev.h>`.

 KVM implements the following commands to support common lifecycle events of SEV
 guests, such as launching, running, snapshotting, migrating and decommissioning.
