Subject: [PATCH v5 12/22] x86/sev: Provide PIC aliases for SEV related data objects

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>

Provide PIC aliases for data objects that are shared between the SEV
startup code and the SEV code that executes later. This is needed so
that the confined startup code is permitted to access them.

This requires some of these variables to be moved into a source file
that is not part of the startup code, as the PIC alias is already
implied, and exporting variables in the opposite direction is not
supported.

Move ghcb_version as well, but don't provide a PIC alias as it is not
actually needed.

Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>
