 Debugging
------------
+---------
+
 Since the memory contents of a SEV guest are encrypted, hypervisor access to
 the guest memory will return cipher text. If the guest policy allows debugging,
 then a hypervisor can use the DEBUG_DECRYPT and DEBUG_ENCRYPT commands to access
 the guest memory region for debug purposes.  This is not supported in QEMU yet.
