My bad, was on a separate tree and missed to test it on latest.

Not all feature need guest kernel support so I did not use mask, so added all 
the known bit fields that are published in the APM.

Purpose of this patch is older guests kernel that have SNP enabled (5.19 onward), 
when a particular SNP feature is enabled by the hypervisor that needs enlightened guest, 
older kernel wont be able to support the feature. There is no mechanism that the hypervisor 
can find out what feature is supported by the SNP guest before hand.

For example PREVENT_HOST_IBS needs changes on hypervisor and no changes in the 
guest kernel. In this any guest kernel having SNP support should work.

While for SECURE_TSC, hypervisor and guest kernel changes are required. And older guest 
kernel will not work if hypervisor enables Secure TSC. When secure tsc feature is enabled
following define should be changed:

#define SNP_GUEST_SUPPORT_AVAILABLE (MSR_AMD64_SNP_SECURE_TSC_ENABLED)

As they are undefined feature bits, we do not know if it needs enlightened guest, can't add here.

snp_guest_supports_all_required_features()
{
	/* Features guest is supporting, currently no SNP features supported */
	u64 supported_features = (0);

	/* Features that will not work without guest support */
	u64 required_features = (SNP_VTOM | REFLECT_VC | ...);

	return !(sev_status & (required_features & ~supported_features));

Will removed _ENABLED, kept it for consistency of previous defines MSR_AMD64_SEV_ENABLED, etc.

Thanks for the review
