It doesn't seem great to rely on SEV_HDR_MAGIC to determine whether
bp->cc_blob_address is valid or not since it is only a 32-bit value.
Would it be possible to use a setup_data entry of type SETUP_CC_BLOB
in bp->hdr.setup_data instead? There's already handling for that in
find_cc_blob_setup_data() so it should "just work".
Hi Michael:
Thanks for your review. I will have a try. Hypervisor may set
cc_blob_address directly and so propose this.
