Ah, I missed the fact that we don't need to pass the SevES
bit to the guest because guest actually does not need it.
It just needs the SevBit to make decision whether its
safe to call the RDMSR for SEV_STATUS. The SEV_STATUS
MSR will give information which SEV feature is enabled.
thanks

I am not sure that the SevEs CPUID bit has the same problem as the Sev
bit. It seems the reason the Sev bit was to be passed to the guest was
to prevent the guest from reading the SEV MSR if it did not exist. If
the guest is running with SevEs it must be also running with Sev. So
the guest can safely read the SevStatus MSR to check the SevEsEnabled
bit because the Sev CPUID bit will be set.
If I look at the AMD patches for ES. I see just that,
https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FAMDESE%2Flinux%2Fcommit%2Fc19d84b803caf8e3130b1498868d0fcafc755da7&data=02%7C01%7Cbrijesh.singh%40amd.com%7Cfe5a46e348a5464ea52b08d76f85909b%7C3dd8961fe4884e608e11a82d994e183d%7C0%7C0%7C637100491764446005&sdata=R6RrRO0TpcfM7uzpBbsGhVp47bA%2BVoz624IBQif%2BxjA%3D&reserved=0,
it doesn't look for the SevEs CPUID bit.
} else {
/* For SEV, check the SEV MSR */
msr = __rdmsr(MSR_AMD64_SEV);
if (!(msr & MSR_AMD64_SEV_ENABLED))
return;

Does SEV-ES indicate that SEV-ES guests are supported, or that the
current (v)CPU is running with SEV-ES enabled, or both?

Only pass through guest relevant CPUID information: Cbit location and

in this CPUID leaf is unneeded by the guest.
