That seems promising. I've been testing a similar approach in conjunction with
moving sme_enable() to after the initial #VC handler is set up and things seem
to work out pretty nicely.

boot/compressed is a little less straightforward since the sme_enable()
equivalent is set_sev_encryption_mask() which sets sev_status and is written
in assembly, whereas the SNP-specific bits we're adding relies on C code
that handles stuff like scanning EFI config table are in C, so probably
worthwhile to see if everything can be redone in C. But then there's
get_sev_encryption_bit(), which needs to be in assembly since it needs
to be called from 32-bit entry path as well, but that doesn't actually
rely on anything set by set_sev_encryption_mask(), so it seems like it
should be okay to split set_sev_encryption_mask() out into a separate C
routine.

Will work on implementing/testing that approach, but if you or Joerg are
aware of any showstoppers there just let me know.

Thanks!
