Resolve the "NAE" abbreviation here so that it is clear what this means.

This here says "malicious hypervisor" from which we protect from...

hypervisor from which we're actually protecting.

You wanna rephrase that to explain what exactly happens so that it
doesn't sound like we're really trusting the HV with the secrets page.

That's hardly verifying something - if anything, it should say

	/* smoke-test the secrets page passed */

... which begs the question: how do we verify the HV is not passing some
garbage instead of an actual secrets page?

I guess it is that:

"SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE can insert two special pages into the guest’s
memory: the secrets page and the CPUID page. The secrets page contains
encryption keys used by the guest to interact with the firmware. Because
the secrets page is encrypted with the guest’s memory encryption
key, the hypervisor cannot read the keys. The CPUID page contains
hypervisor provided CPUID function values that it passes to the guest.
The firmware validates these values to ensure the hypervisor is not
providing out-of-range values."

>From "4.5 Launching a Guest" in the SNP FW ABI spec.

I think that explanation above is very important wrt to explaining the
big picture how this all works with those pages injected into the guest
so I guess somewhere around here a comment should say

"See section 4.5 Launching a Guest in the SNP FW ABI spec for details
about those special pages."

or so.

If anything, that should be called

init_snp_platform_device()

or so.

Oh look, that function can return an error.

Make that message human-readable - not a debug one.

Thx.
