I'd rewrite that to:

"The range of allowed SEV guest ASIDs is [1 - CPUID_8000_001F[ECX][31:0]]".

If anything, this comment should explain what that variable is.
Basically the comment you have in sev_hardware_setup() now.

max_sev_asid is static and it is already initialized to 0 and thus this
function can be simplified to:

/*
 * Get maximum number of encrypted guest supported: Fn8001_001F[ECX].
 *   [31:0]: Number of supported guests.
 */
static __init void sev_hardware_setup(void)
{
        max_sev_asid = cpuid_ecx(0x8000001F);
}
