Tom Lendacky 7006b75592 x86/sev: Allow for use of the early boot GHCB for PSC requests
Using a GHCB for a page stage change (as opposed to the MSR protocol)
allows for multiple pages to be processed in a single request. In prep
for early PSC requests in support of unaccepted memory, update the
invocation of vmgexit_psc() to be able to use the early boot GHCB and not
just the per-CPU GHCB structure.

In order to use the proper GHCB (early boot vs per-CPU), set a flag that
indicates when the per-CPU GHCBs are available and registered. For APs,
the per-CPU GHCBs are created before they are started and registered upon
startup, so this flag can be used globally for the BSP and APs instead of
creating a per-CPU flag. This will allow for a significant reduction in
the number of MSR protocol page state change requests when accepting
memory.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
