Any use case that needs /dev/sev-guest, I guess. Saves software from having to do the modprobe manually. For example, nothing I can find in https://github.com/AMDESE/sev-guest loads the driver, it expects /dev/sev-guest to be there already
Mostly I assumed lack of autoloading was an oversight. Was it intentionally omitted?
Thanks, Cole
