Not quite...  there isn't a way to (easily) retrieve the APIC IDs for all 
of the vCPUs, which are required in order to use the AP Create event.

For this version of SNP, all of the vCPUs are measured and started by OVMF 
in the same way as SEV-ES. However, once the vCPUs have run, we now have 
the APIC ID associated with each vCPU and the AP Create event can be used 
going forward.

The SVSM support will introduce a new NAE event to the GHCB spec to 
retrieve all of the APIC IDs from the hypervisor. With that, then you 
would be able be required to perform a LAUNCH_UPDATE_VMSA against the BSP.
