A pseries guest can be run as secure guest on Ultravisor-enabled
POWER platforms. On such platforms, this driver will be used to manage
the movement of guest pages between the normal memory managed by
hypervisor (HV) and secure memory managed by Ultravisor (UV).

HV is informed about the guest's transition to secure mode via hcalls:

H_SVM_INIT_START: Initiate securing a VM
H_SVM_INIT_DONE: Conclude securing a VM

As part of H_SVM_INIT_START, register all existing memslots with
the UV. H_SVM_INIT_DONE call by UV informs HV that transition of
the guest to secure mode is complete.

These two states (transition to secure mode STARTED and transition
to secure mode COMPLETED) are recorded in kvm->arch.secure_guest.
Setting these states will cause the assembly code that enters the
guest to call the UV_RETURN ucall instead of trying to enter the
guest directly.

Migration of pages betwen normal and secure memory of secure
guest is implemented in H_SVM_PAGE_I...
