It already is __ro_after_init.

The sev-guest driver needs to access it. Given it is a driver/module, I 
created the accessor rather than mark the variable EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). 
Your call, I'm fine with either.

Yes, the driver can and does figure it out. However, this module parameter 
was added in the off chance the default VMPCK gets wiped. Then you can 
reload the driver and use a different (less privileged) VMPCK.
