x86/sev: Document requirement for linear mapping of guest request buffers
The Guest Request supports 3 types of messages now, the largest is the
extended variant of MSG_REPORT_REQ: sizeof(snp_ext_report_req)==112. These
used to be allocated on stack and then moved to the SNP guest platform device
(snp_guest_dev) for the reason explained in
db10cb9 ("virt: sevguest: Fix passing a stack buffer as a scatterlist target"):
aesgcm_encrypt() and aesgcm_decrypt() are used for guest messages and might
potentially use a crypto accelerator which requires DMA buffers to be in the
linear mapping.
Add a comment, warn and return an error when the buffers are not in linear
mapping.
