It probably isn't clear since I didn't mention it in the commit message, 
but this is not a system that supports AMD-SEV.  This is a workstation 
that supports x2apic.  I'll clarify that for V2.

I've looped Tom in to comment whether it's possible to improve AMD-SEV 
as well.

Sure, thanks for the feedback.  I'll adjust the style for v2.
