Apart from a few nits, see below:

Nit: would be nice to have a comment describing the rationale behind the
kernel_irqchip option and/or a sentence in the commit message.

Nit: There is an explicit enum already, so this is superfluous and needs
to be dropped/updated as soon as a variant with a longer name appears

Style nit: additional whitespace above here

Style nit: a tab snuck in here, you can use 'make tidy' to have the code
formatted nowadays

Style nit: pre-existing with AMD SEV, but I'd not use _mem_ in the
varialbe name here. It could also just be a direct return of the string.
