[PATCH v4 0/3] efi: Don't initalize SEV-SNP from the EFI stub

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

The EFI stub no longer invokes the legacy decompressor, and so there is
no longer any reason to perform all SEV-SNP initialization twice: it is
sufficient to rely on the SEV-SNP work done by the core kernel.

Changes since v3: [2]
- Drop patches that have been merged in the meantime
- Rebase onto tip/x86/sev

Note that the issue pointed out by Tom in reply to the v3 cover letter
has been fixed in the meantime as well [3]

Changes since v2: [1]
- rebase onto tip/x86/boot
- add patch to remove unused static inline fallback implementation of
  sev_enable()

Changes since v1: [0]
- address shortcomings pointed out by Tom, related to missing checks and
  to discovery of the CC blob table from the EFI stub
