Yes. sev_key_active() can be removed and replaced with
cc_platform_has().

Thomas Lendacky also proposed to introduce as common
static key which can be set by both AMD SEV and TDX code.

@Thomas Lendacky, any comments?

It is incorrect. I will fix this in next version. How about following
change?

I/O strings are replaced with in/out instructions. If string is reported,
report it with BUG.
