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.

to long mode
In some old AMD KVM implementation, guest's EFER.LME bit is cleared by KVM
when the hypervsior detects that the guest sets CR0.PG to 0. This causes
the guest OS to reboot when it tries to return from 32-bit trampoline code
because the CPU is in incorrect state: CR4.PAE=1, CR0.PG=1, CS.L=1, but
EFER.LME=0. As a precaution, set EFER.LME=1 as part of long mode
activation procedure. This extra step won't cause any harm when Linux is
booted on a bare-metal machine.

This patch clears up trampoline memory and copies trampoline code in
place. It's not yet used though.

If a bootloader enables 64-bit mode with 4-level paging, we might need to
switch over to 5-level paging. The switching requires the disabling of
paging, which works fine if kernel itself is loaded below 4G.
But if the bootloader puts the kernel above 4G (not sure if anybody does
this), we would lose control as soon as paging is disabled, because the
code becomes unreachable to the CPU.
To handle the situation, we need a trampoline in lower memory that would
take care of switching on 5-level paging.
This patch finds a spot in low memory for a trampoline.
The heuristic is based on code in reserve_bios_regions().
We find the end of low memory based on BIOS and EBDA start addresses.
The trampoline is put just before end of low memory. It's mimic approach
taken to allocate memory for realtime trampoline.
