This means that SNP is enabled in  host SYSCFG_MSR.Snp=1. Once its
enabled then RMP checks are enforced.

Enabling the SNP support on host is 3 step process:

step1 (bios): reserve memory for the RMP table.

step2 (host): initialize the RMP table memory, set the SYSCFG msr to
enable the SNP feature

step3 (host): call the SNP_INIT to initialize the SNP firmware (this is
needed only if you ever plan to launch SNP guest from this host).

The "SNP globally enabled" means the step 1 to 2. The RMP checks are
enforced as soon as step 2 is completed.
