x86/boot: Avoid #VE during boot for TDX platforms
There are a few MSRs and control register bits that the kernel
normally needs to modify during boot. But, TDX disallows
modification of these registers to help provide consistent security
guarantees. Fortunately, TDX ensures that these are all in the correct
state before the kernel loads, which means the kernel does not need to
modify them.
The conditions to avoid are:
* Any writes to the EFER MSR
* Clearing CR4.MCE
This theoretically makes the guest boot more fragile. If, for instance,
EFER was set up incorrectly and a WRMSR was performed, it will trigger
early exception panic or a triple fault, if it's before early
exceptions are set up. However, this is likely to trip up the guest
BIOS long before control reaches the kernel. In any case, these kinds
of problems are unlikely to occur in production environments, and
developers have good debug tools to fix them quickly.
Change the common boot code to work on TDX and non-TDX systems.
This should have no functional effect on non-TDX systems.

x86/boot: Set CR0.NE early and keep it set during the boot
TDX guest requires CR0.NE to be set. Clearing the bit triggers #GP(0).
If CR0.NE is 0, the MS-DOS compatibility mode for handling floating-point
exceptions is selected. In this mode, the software exception handler for
floating-point exceptions is invoked externally using the processor’s
FERR#, INTR, and IGNNE# pins.
Using FERR# and IGNNE# to handle floating-point exception is deprecated.
CR0.NE=0 also limits newer processors to operate with one logical
processor active.
Kernel uses CR0_STATE constant to initialize CR0. It has NE bit set.
But during early boot kernel has more ad-hoc approach to setting bit
in the register. During some of this ad-hoc manipulation, CR0.NE is
cleared. This causes a #GP in TDX guests and makes it die in early boot.
Make CR0 initialization consistent, deriving the initial value of CR0
from CR0_STATE. Since CR0_STATE always has CR0.NE=1, this ensures that
CR0.NE is never 0 and avoids the #GP.

x86/boot: Add a trampoline for booting APs via firmware handoff
Historically, x86 platforms have booted secondary processors (APs)
using INIT followed by the start up IPI (SIPI) messages. In regular
VMs, this boot sequence is supported by the VMM emulation. But such a
wakeup model is fatal for secure VMs like TDX in which VMM is an
untrusted entity. To address this issue, a new wakeup model was added
in ACPI v6.4, in which firmware (like TDX virtual BIOS) will help boot
the APs. More details about this wakeup model can be found in ACPI
specification v6.4, the section titled "Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure".
Since the existing trampoline code requires processors to boot in real
mode with 16-bit addressing, it will not work for this wakeup model
(because it boots the AP in 64-bit mode). To handle it, extend the
trampoline code to support 64-bit mode firmware handoff. Also, extend
IDT and GDT pointers to support 64-bit mode hand off.
There is no TDX-specific detection for this new boot method. The kernel
will rely on it as the sole boot method whenever the new ACPI structure
is present.
The ACPI table parser for the MADT multiprocessor wake up structure and
the wakeup method that uses this structure will be added by the following
patch in this series.

x86/vmlinux: Drop unneeded linker script discard of .eh_frame
Now that .eh_frame sections for the files in setup.elf and realmode.elf
are not generated anymore, the linker scripts don't need the special
output section name /DISCARD/ any more.
Remove the one in the main kernel linker script as well, since there are
no .eh_frame sections already, and fix up a comment referencing .eh_frame.
Update the comment in asm/dwarf2.h referring to .eh_frame so it continues
to make sense, as well as being more specific.
