Currently if an SEV-ES VM shuts down userspace sees KVM_RUN struct with
only the INVALID_ARGUMENT. This is a very limited amount of information
to debug the situation. Instead KVM can return a
KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN to alert userspace the VM is shutting down and
is not usable any further.

Applied to kvm-x86 svm, thanks!
