[PATCH 2/4] i386/sev: Switch to use confidential_guest_kvm_init()
Posted by Xiaoyao Li 9 months ago
Use confidential_guest_kvm_init() instead of calling SEV specific
sev_kvm_init(). As a bouns, it fits to future TDX when TDX implements
its own confidential_guest_support and .kvm_init().

Move the "TypeInfo sev_guest_info" definition and related functions to
the end of the file, to avoid declaring the sev_kvm_init() ahead.

Delete the sve-stub.c since it's not needed anymore.

Changes from rfc v1:
- check ms->cgs not NULL before calling confidential_guest_kvm_init();
- delete the sev-stub.c;

Queued, with just one small simplification that can be done on top:
