[PATCH Part1 RFC v4 27/36] x86/boot: add a pointer to Confidential Computing blob in bootparams

From: Brijesh Singh

From: Michael Roth <michael.roth@xxxxxxx>

The previously defined Confidential Computing blob is provided to the
kernel via a setup_data structure or EFI config table entry. Currently
these are both checked for by boot/compressed kernel to access the
CPUID table address within it for use with SEV-SNP CPUID enforcement.

To also enable SEV-SNP CPUID enforcement for the run-time kernel,
similar early access to the CPUID table is needed early on while it's
still using the identity-mapped page table set up by boot/compressed,
where global pointers need to be accessed via fixup_pointer().

This is much of an issue for accessing setup_data, and the EFI config
table helper code currently used in boot/compressed *could* be used in
this case as well since they both rely on identity-mapping. However, it
has some reliance on EFI helpers/string constants that would need to be
accessed via fixup_pointer(), and fixing it up while making it
shareable between boot/compressed and run-time kernel is fragile and
introduces a good bit of uglyness.

Instead, this patch adds a boot_params->cc_blob_address pointer that
boot/compressed can initialize so that the run-time kernel can access
the prelocated CC blob that way instead.
