Subject: [RFC v2-fix-v4 1/1] x86/boot: Avoid #VE during boot for TDX platforms

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@...el.com>

There are a few MSRs and control register bits which the kernel
normally needs to modify during boot. But, TDX disallows
modification of these registers to help provide consistent
security guarantees. Fortunately, TDX ensures that these are all
in the correct state before the kernel loads, which means the
kernel has no need to modify them.

The conditions to avoid are:

  * Any writes to the EFER MSR
  * Clearing CR0.NE
  * Clearing CR3.MCE

This theoretically makes guest boot more fragile. If, for
instance, EFER was set up incorrectly and a WRMSR was performed,
it will trigger early exception panic or a triple fault, if it's
before early exceptions are set up. However, this is likely to
trip up the guest BIOS long before control reaches the kernel. In
any case, these kinds of problems are unlikely to occur in
production environments, and developers have good debug
tools to fix them quickly.

Changes since RFC v2-fix-v3:
 * Removed uncessary contents from commit log. No code changes.

Changes since RFC v2-fix-v2:
 * Fixed commit log as per review comments.

Changes since RFC v2-fix:
 * Fixed commit and comments as per Dave and Dan's suggestions.
 * Merged CR0.NE related change in pa_trampoline_compat() from patch
   titled "x86/boot: Add a trampoline for APs booting in 64-bit mode"
   to this patch. It belongs in this patch.
 * Merged TRAMPOLINE_32BIT_CODE_SIZE related change from patch titled
   "x86/boot: Add a trampoline for APs booting in 64-bit mode" to this
   patch (since it was wrongly merged to that patch during patch split).
