[PATCH 0/4] Qemu SEV reduced-phys-bits fixes

[Tom Lendacky]

This patch series fixes up and tries to remove some confusion around the
SEV reduced-phys-bits parameter.

Based on the "AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System
Programming", section "15.34.6 Page Table Support" [1], a guest should
only ever see a maximum of 1 bit of physical address space reduction.

- Update the documentation, to change the default value from 5 to 1.
- Update the validation of the parameter to ensure the parameter value
  is within the range of the CPUID field that it is reported in. To allow
  for backwards compatibility, especially to support the previously
  documented value of 5, allow the full range of values from 1 to 63
  (0 was never allowed).
- Update the setting of CPUID 0x8000001F_EBX to limit the values to the
  field width that they are setting as an additional safeguard.
