Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] nosnp sev command line support

Provide "nosnp" boot option via "sev=nosnp" kernel command line to
prevent SEV-SNP[1] capable host kernel from enabling SEV-SNP and
initializing Reverse Map Table (RMP) [1].

On providing sev=nosnp via kernel command line:
cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/sev_snp should be "N".

This patchset is based on tip/master.

Changelog:

v1->v2:
  * Pick R-b from Tom.
  * Include only those headers that provide the necessary definitions (Boris)
  * Provide appropriate references to SEV, SNP and RMP (Matthew)
