Made that change, but kept the set_ghcb_msr_cpuid_resp() and renamed it
to ghcb_msr_cpuid_resp(). It now returns the MSR value for the CPUID
response.

I like the keep the more complicated response setters as functions and
not macros for readability.

Makes sense, I replaced the set_ghcb_msr() calls with the above.

No strong opinion here, I let this up to the AMD engineers to decide. If
we change the name I can add a separate patch for this.
