[PATCH 1/3] sev/i386: Allow launching with -kernel if no OVMF hashes table found

[Dov Murik]

Commit cff03145ed3c ("sev/i386: Introduce sev_add_kernel_loader_hashes
for measured linux boot", 2021-09-30) introduced measured direct boot
with -kernel, using an OVMF-designated hashes table which QEMU fills.

However, if OVMF doesn't designate such an area, QEMU would completely
abort the VM launch.  This breaks launching with -kernel using older
OVMF images which don't publish the SEV_HASH_TABLE_RV_GUID.

Instead, just warn the user that -kernel was supplied by OVMF doesn't
specify the GUID for the hashes table.  The following warning will be
displayed during VM launch:

    qemu-system-x86_64: warning: SEV: kernel specified but OVMF has no hash 
table guid
