x86/sev: Add SNP-specific unaccepted memory support

Add SNP-specific hooks to the unaccepted memory support in the boot
path (__accept_memory()) and the core kernel (accept_memory()) in order
to support booting SNP guests when unaccepted memory is present. Without
this support, SNP guests will fail to boot and/or panic() when unaccepted
memory is present in the EFI memory map.

The process of accepting memory under SNP involves invoking the hypervisor
to perform a page state change for the page to private memory and then
issuing a PVALIDATE instruction to accept the page.

Since the boot path and the core kernel paths perform similar operations,
move the pvalidate_pages() and vmgexit_psc() functions into sev-shared.c
to avoid code duplication.

Create the new header file arch/x86/boot/compressed/sev.h because adding
the function declaration to any of the existing SEV related header files
pulls in too many other header files, causing the build to fail.

x86/tdx: Add unaccepted memory support

Hookup TDX-specific code to accept memory.

Accepting the memory is done with ACCEPT_PAGE module call on every page
in the range. MAP_GPA hypercall is not required as the unaccepted memory
is considered private already.

Extract the part of tdx_enc_status_changed() that does memory acceptance
in a new helper. Move the helper tdx-shared.c. It is going to be used by
both main kernel and decompressor.

x86/boot/compressed: Handle unaccepted memory

The firmware will pre-accept the memory used to run the stub. But, the
stub is responsible for accepting the memory into which it decompresses
the main kernel. Accept memory just before decompression starts.

The stub is also responsible for choosing a physical address in which to
place the decompressed kernel image. The KASLR mechanism will randomize
this physical address. Since the accepted memory region is relatively
small, KASLR would be quite ineffective if it only used the pre-accepted
area (EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY). Ensure that KASLR randomizes among the
entire physical address space by also including EFI_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY.

efi/libstub: Implement support for unaccepted memory

UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory
acceptance: Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD
SEV-SNP, requiring memory to be accepted before it can be used by the
guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific for the Virtual
Machine platform.

Accepting memory is costly and it makes VMM allocate memory for the
accepted guest physical address range. It's better to postpone memory
acceptance until memory is needed. It lowers boot time and reduces
memory overhead.

The kernel needs to know what memory has been accepted. Firmware
communicates this information via memory map: a new memory type --
EFI_UNACCEPTED_MEMORY -- indicates such memory.

Range-based tracking works fine for firmware, but it gets bulky for
the kernel: e820 (or whatever the arch uses) has to be modified on every
page acceptance. It leads to table fragmentation and there's a limited
number of entries in the e820 table.

Another option is to mark such memory as usable in e820 and track if the
range has been accepted in a bitmap. One bit in the bitmap represents a
naturally aligned power-2-sized region of address space -- unit.

For x86, unit size is 2MiB: 4k of the bitmap is enough to track 64GiB or
physical address space.

In the worst-case scenario -- a huge hole in the middle of the
address space -- It needs 256MiB to handle 4PiB of the address
space.

Any unaccepted memory that is not aligned to unit_size gets accepted
upfront.

The bitmap is allocated and constructed in the EFI stub and passed down
to the kernel via EFI configuration table. allocate_e820() allocates the
bitmap if unaccepted memory is present, according to the size of
unaccepted region.
