I guess for now, you can probably just not enable parallel startup for
SEV-ES guests.

OK, thanks. I'll expand it to allow 24 bits of (physical) APIC ID then,
since it's no longer limited to CPUs without X2APIC. Then we can
refrain from doing parallel bringup for SEV-ES guests, as you suggest.

What precisely is the check I should be using for that?

Calling cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_GUEST_STATE_ENCRYPT) will return true for an SEV-ES guest.

Thanks,
Tom
