This would have been the main architectured way to fetch an attestation
report from firmware for non-SNP cases, so I think it's likely being used
to some degree. Libvirt itself does not seem to use it directly, however
(opting for the less verbose query-sev-launch-measure), but it seems likely
there would be SEV deployments that do. libvirt might find other bits like
policy/major/minor/etc. to be redundant since it also controls the guest
config, but maybe 3rd party tools prefer to known those values as provided
by firmware so they can ensure they match expected values.
