Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 2/4] x86/tests: Add tests for AMD SEV-ES #VC handling
 Add KUnit based tests to validate Linux's VC handling for instructions cpuid
 and wbinvd. These tests: 1. install a kretprobe on the #VC handler
 (sev_es_ghcb_hv_call, to access GHCB before/after the resulting VMGEXIT). 2.
 trigger an NAE by executing either cpuid or wbinvd. 3. check that the
 kretprobe was hit with the right exit_code available in GHCB.

Actually it's necessary to allocate memory to test->priv before using according to
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kunit/tips.html
