+13. KVM_SEV_RECEIVE_START
+------------------------
+
+The KVM_SEV_RECEIVE_START command is used for creating the memory encryption
+context for an incoming SEV guest. To create the encryption context, the user must
+provide a guest policy, the platform public Diffie-Hellman (PDH) key and session
+information.
+
+Parameters: struct  kvm_sev_receive_start (in/out)
+
+Returns: 0 on success, -negative on error
+
+::
+
+        struct kvm_sev_receive_start {
+                __u32 handle;           /* if zero then firmware creates a new handle */
+                __u32 policy;           /* guest's policy */
+
+                __u64 pdh_uaddr;        /* userspace address pointing to the PDH key */
+                __u32 pdh_len;
+
+                __u64 session_uaddr;    /* userspace address which points to the guest session information */
+                __u32 session_len;
+        };
+
+On success, the 'handle' field contains a new handle and on error, a negative value.
+
+For more details, see SEV spec Section 6.12.
