It'd be helpful to spell out Trusted Memory Region, I hadn't seen that
term before and for some reason my brain immediately thought "xAPIC register!".

None of this actually states what the patch does, e.g. it's not clear whether
all allocations are being converted to 2mb or just the SNP.  Looks like it's
just SNP.  Something like this?

  Allocate the Trusted Memory Region (TMR) as a 2mb sized/aligned region when
  SNP is enabled to satisfy new requirements for SNP.  Continue allocating a
  1mb region for !SNP configuration.

I think your patch ordering got a bit wonky.  AFAICT, the chunk that added
sev_snp_init() and friends in the previous patch 14 should have landed above
the TMR allocation, i.e. the code movement here should be unnecessary.

Hmm, I think we should probably bite the bullet and #ifdef and/or stub out large
swaths of svm/sev.c before adding SNP support.  sev.c is getting quite massive,
and we're accumulating more and more stubs outside of KVM because its SEV code
is compiled unconditionally.
