[PATCH 2/2] KVM: SVM: add some info prints to SEV init

From: Alexander Mikhalitsyn
Date: Tue Apr 04 2023 - 08:27:48 EST


Let's add a few pr_info's to sev_hardware_setup to make SEV/SEV-ES
enabling a little bit handier for users. Right now it's too hard
to guess why SEV/SEV-ES are failing to enable.

There are a few reasons.
SEV:
- npt is disabled (module parameter)
- CPU lacks some features (sev, decodeassists)
- Maximum SEV ASID is 0

SEV-ES:
- mmio_caching is disabled (module parameter)
- CPU lacks sev_es feature
- Minimum SEV ASID value is 1 (can be adjusted in BIOS/UEFI)
