Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86/efi: Access EFI MMIO data as unencrypted when SEV is active

From: Brijesh Singh <brijesh.singh@....com>

SEV guest fails to update the UEFI runtime variables stored in the
flash. commit 1379edd59673 ("x86/efi: Access EFI data as encrypted
when SEV is active") unconditionally maps all the UEFI runtime data
as 'encrypted' (C=1). When SEV is active the UEFI runtime data marked
as EFI_MEMORY_MAPPED_IO should be mapped as 'unencrypted' so that both
guest and hypervisor can access the data.

Fixes: 1379edd59673 ("x86/efi: Access EFI data as encrypted ...")
