Can we get rid of those forward declarations pls? Due to sev-shared.c
this file is starting to spawn those and that's ugly.

Either through a code reorg or even defining a sev-internal.h header
which contains all those so that they don't pollute the code?

Thx.

More missed review from last time:

"This needs to be set to true in the function itself, in the success
case."

Can you please be more careful and go through all review comments so
that I don't have to do the same work twice?

Thx.
