    Confidential computing (coco) hardware such as AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted
    Virtualization) allows a guest owner to inject secrets into the VMs
    memory without the host/hypervisor being able to read them.
    
    Firmware support for secret injection is available in OVMF, which
    reserves a memory area for secret injection and includes a pointer to it
    the in EFI config table entry LINUX_EFI_COCO_SECRET_TABLE_GUID.
    
    If EFI exposes such a table entry, uefi_init() will keep a pointer to
    the EFI config table entry in efi.coco_secret, so it can be used later
    by the kernel (specifically drivers/virt/coco/efi_secret).  It will also
    appear in the kernel log as "CocoSecret=ADDRESS"; for example:
    
        [    0.000000] efi: EFI v2.70 by EDK II
        [    0.000000] efi: CocoSecret=0x7f22e680 SMBIOS=0x7f541000 ACPI=0x7f77e000 ACPI 2.0=0x7f77e014 MEMATTR=0x7ea0c018
    
    The new functionality can be enabled with CONFIG_EFI_COCO_SECRET=y.
