+KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE
+  Prepare the current protected VM for asynchronous teardown. Most
+  resources used by the current protected VM will be set aside for a
+  subsequent asynchronous teardown. The current protected VM will then
+  resume execution immediately as non-protected. There can be at most
+  one protected VM set aside at any time. If a protected VM had

+  KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM or KVM_PV_DISABLE, otherwise they will
