Yes, this will cause issues if KVM is builtin and INIT_EX is being used,
but my question is how will INIT_EX be used when we move SEV INIT
to KVM ?

If we continue to use the probe field here and also continue to support
psp_init_on_probe module parameter for CCP, how will SEV INIT_EX be
invoked ? 

How is SEV INIT_EX invoked in PSP driver currently if psp_init_on_probe
parameter is set to false ?

The KVM path to invoke sev_platform_init() when a SEV VM is being launched 
cannot be used because QEMU checks for SEV to be initialized before
invoking this code path to launch the guest.
