For me it was more about readability. E?X are well-defined as 32-bit
values, whereas regs->?x are longs. It seemed more readable to me to
have sev_cpuid_hv()/snp_cpuid() expect/return the actual native types,
and leave it up to the caller to cast/shift if necessary.
It also seems more robust for future re-use, since, for instance, if we
ever introduced another callsite that happened to already use u32 locally,
it seems like it would be a mess trying to setup up temp long* args or do
casts to pass them into these functions and then shift/cast them back just
so we could save a few lines at this particular callsite.
