In previous patches, Peter highlighted that we should keep some gap
between the SEV/ES and SNP to leave room for legacy SEV/ES expansion. I
was not sure how many we need to reserve without knowing what will come
in the future; especially recently some of the command additional  are
not linked to the firmware. I am okay to reduce the gap or remove the
gap all together.
