With upcoming SEV-SNP support, SEV-related features need to be initialized earlier during boot, at the same point the initial #VC handler is set up, so that the SEV-SNP CPUID table can be utilized during the initial feature checks. Also, SEV-SNP feature detection will rely on EFI helper functions to scan the EFI config table for the Confidential Computing blob, and so would need to be implemented at least partially in C. Currently set_sev_encryption_mask() is used to initialize the sev_status and sme_me_mask globals that advertise what SEV/SME features are available in a guest. Rename it to sev_enable() to better reflect that (SME is only enabled in the case of SEV guests in the boot/compressed kernel), and move it to just after the stage1 #VC handler is set up so that it can be used to initialize SEV-SNP as well in future patches. While at it, re-implement it as C code so that all SEV feature detection can be better consolidated with upcoming SEV-SNP feature detection, which will also be in C. The 32-bit entry path remains unchanged, as it never relied on the set_sev_encryption_mask() initialization to begin with.

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 Restructured Text 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.
