The second time it should be "kernel hashes" instead of "kernel-hashes"

The comment does not add any information (it's already obvious from the
code). Maybe mention the migration attack instead?

What about hibernate? That uses the very same mechanism under the hood
(savevm-start QMP command), so that should be prevented as well, right?

A helper would be good for the common checks. Could be called
check_non_migratable_resources() and start out with the checks for
clipboard and hostpci devices (currently present for hibernation). Your
series could then add the AMD-SEV check.

The helper can then be called by check_local_resources() (although then
we should avoid adding hostpci devices twice to the list of local
resources), as well as the snapshot and hibernation API calls (when
state is included).

Off-topic: I noticed the clipboard check is also missing from snapshot
and hibernate API calls, but it's not 100% clear to me if they should be
added right now or if we should wait for a (minor) release, see:
https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2024-May/063896.html

So you could start out with just the AMD-SEV check until we decide to
enforce the VNC clipboard check for snapshot/hibernate and how to
properly avoid duplicates with the hostpci check. (A TODO comment for
those would be good).

Then you could also re-use the helper here :)

You don't need a format_description if there is an enum.

You don't need a maxLenght if there is an enum.

Please factor this out into a helper function instead of adding a big
block to config_to_command. It's already huge enough.

Maybe error out if the parsed caps are not a hash like we expect (before
accessing 'amd-sev')? And error out if the keys we expect do not exist
in the result.

Style nit: superfluous parentheses for post-if

Maybe eval and use a nice error message/prefix if the decoding dies here?
