KVM: SEV: Provide support for SNP_GUEST_REQUEST NAE event
Version 2 of GHCB specification added support for the SNP Guest Request Message NAE event. The event allows for an SEV-SNP guest to make requests to the SEV-SNP firmware through the hypervisor using the SNP_GUEST_REQUEST API defined in the SEV-SNP firmware specification. This is used by guests primarily to request attestation reports from firmware. There are other request types are available as well, but the specifics of what guest requests are being made generally does not affect how they are handled by the hypervisor, which only serves as a proxy for the guest requests and firmware responses. Implement handling for these events. When an SNP Guest Request is issued, the guest will provide its own request/response pages, which could in theory be passed along directly to firmware. However, these pages would need special care: - Both pages are from shared guest memory, so they need to be protected from migration/etc. occurring while firmware reads/writes to them. At a minimum, this requires elevating the ref counts and potentially needing an explicit pinning of the memory. This places additional restrictions on what type of memory backends userspace can use for shared guest memory since there would be some reliance on using refcounted pages. - The response page needs to be switched to Firmware-owned state before the firmware can write to it, which can lead to potential host RMP #PFs if the guest is misbehaved and hands the host a guest page that KVM is writing to for other reasons (e.g. virtio buffers). Both of these issues can be avoided completely by using separately-allocated bounce pages for both the request/response pages and passing those to firmware instead. So that's the approach taken here.
