[PATCH v3 0/2] Provide SEV-SNP support for unaccepted memory
From: Tom Lendacky

This series adds SEV-SNP support for unaccepted memory to the patch series
titled:
[PATCHv7 00/14] mm, x86/cc: Implement support for unaccepted memory
Currently, when changing the state of a page under SNP, the page state
change structure is kmalloc()'d. This lead to hangs during boot when
accepting memory because the allocation can trigger the need to accept
more memory. So this series consists of two patches:
- A pre-patch to switch from a kmalloc()'d page state change structure
to a (smaller) stack-based page state change structure.
- SNP support for unaccepted memory.
The series is based off of and tested against Kirill Shutemov's tree:

Changes since v2:
- Improve code comments in regards to when to use the per-CPU GHCB vs
the MSR protocol and why a single global value is valid for both
the BSP and APs.
- Add a comment related to the number of PSC entries and how it can
impact the size of the struct and, therefore, stack usage.
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() for invoking vmgexit_psc() when per-CPU GHCBs
haven't been created or registered, yet.
- Use the compiler support for clearing the PSC struct instead of
issuing memset().
Changes since v1:
- Change from using a per-CPU PSC structure to a (smaller) stack PSC
structure.
