Add support for the SEV-SNP AP Creation NAE event. This allows SEV-SNP guests to alter the register state of the APs on their own. This allows the guest a way of simulating INIT-SIPI. A new event, KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE, is created and used so as to avoid updating the VMSA pointer while the vCPU is running. For CREATE The guest supplies the GPA of the VMSA to be used for the vCPU with the specified APIC ID. The GPA is saved in the svm struct of the target vCPU, the KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event is added to the vCPU and then the vCPU is kicked. For CREATE_ON_INIT: The guest supplies the GPA of the VMSA to be used for the vCPU with the specified APIC ID the next time an INIT is performed. The GPA is saved in the svm struct of the target vCPU. For DESTROY: The guest indicates it wishes to stop the vCPU. The GPA is cleared from the svm struct, the KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event is added to vCPU and then the vCPU is kicked. The KVM_REQ_UPDATE_PROTECTED_GUEST_STATE event handler will be invoked as a result of the event or as a result of an INIT. If a new VMSA is to be installed, the VMSA guest page is set as the VMSA in the vCPU VMCB and the vCPU state is set to KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE. If a new VMSA is not to be installed, the VMSA is cleared in the vCPU VMCB and the vCPU state is set to KVM_MP_STATE_HALTED to prevent it from being run.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
