Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] x86/head/64: Check SEV encryption before switching to kernel page-table

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

When SEV is enabled the kernel requests the C-Bit position again from
the hypervisor to built its own page-table. Since the hypervisor is an
untrusted source the C-bit position needs to be verified before the
kernel page-table is used.

Call the sev_verify_cbit() function before writing the CR3.
