When processing a hypercall for a guest with protected state, currently
SEV-ES guests, the guest CS segment register can't be checked to
determine if the guest is in 64-bit mode. For an SEV-ES guest, it is
expected that communication between the guest and the hypervisor is
performed to shared memory using the GHCB. In order to use the GHCB, the
guest must have been in long mode, otherwise writes by the guest to the
GHCB would be encrypted and not be able to be comprehended by the
hypervisor.

Create a new helper function, is_64_bit_hypercall(), that assumes the
guest is in 64-bit mode when the guest has protected state, and returns
true, otherwise invoking is_64_bit_mode() to determine the mode. Update
the hypercall related routines to use is_64_bit_hypercall() instead of
is_64_bit_mode().

Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to is_64_bit_mode() to catch occurences of calls to
this helper function for a guest running with protected state.

Changes since v1:
- Create a new helper routine, is_64_bit_hypercall(), and use it in place
   of is_64_bit_mode() in hypercall related areas.
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to is_64_bit_mode() to issue a warning if invoked
   for a guest with protected state.

Thanks!

Paolo,

This got lost in my stack of work... any comments?
