Virtual Machine Privilege Level (VMPL) is an optional feature in the
SEV-SNP architecture, which allows a guest VM to divide its address space
into four levels. The level can be used to provide the hardware isolated
abstraction layers with a VM. The VMPL0 is the highest privilege, and
VMPL3 is the least privilege. Certain operations must be done by the VMPL0
software, such as:
* Validate or invalidate memory range (PVALIDATE instruction)
* Allocate VMSA page (RMPADJUST instruction when VMSA=1)
The initial SEV-SNP support assumes that the guest kernel is running on
VMPL0. Let's add a check to make sure that kernel is running at VMPL0
before continuing the boot. There is no easy method to query the current
VMPL level, so use the RMPADJUST instruction to determine whether its
booted at the VMPL0.
