We will still need some method to tell the IOMMU driver if SNP support/feature is disabled by this function, for example, when CPU family and model is not supported by SNP and we jump to no_snp label.

The reliable way for this to work is to ensure snp_rmptable_init() is called before IOMMU initialization and then IOMMU initialization depends on SNP feature flag setup by snp_rmptable_init() to enable SNP support on IOMMU or not.

If snp_rmptable_init() is called after IOMMU initialization and it detects an issue with SNP support it will clear the SNP feature but the IOMMU driver does not get notified about it, therefore, snp_rmptable_init() should get called before IOMMU initialization or as part of IOMMU initialization, for example, amd_iommu_enable() calling snp_rmptable_init() before calling iommu_snp_enable().

Thanks,
