Sean Christopherson 422692098c KVM: x86: Update KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM docs to make it clear they're a WIP 
Rewrite the help message for KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM to make it clear that
software-protected VMs are a development and testing vehicle for
guest_memfd(), and that attempting to use KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM for anything
remotely resembling a "real" VM will fail.  E.g. any memory accesses from
KVM will incorrectly access shared memory, nested TDP is wildly broken,
and so on and so forth.

Update KVM's API documentation with similar warnings to discourage anyone
from attempting to run anything but selftests with KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM.

Fixes: 89ea60c2c7 ("KVM: x86: Add support for "protected VMs" that can utilize private memory")

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 Restructured Text 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.
