Also, while looking at this, all those defines in sev-common.h were
bothering me for a while now because they're an unreadable mess because
I have to go look at the GHCB spec, decode the corresponding MSR
protocol request and then go and piece together each request value by
verifying the masks...

So I did the below which is, IMO, a lot more readable as you can follow
it directly with the spec opened in parallel.

Thus, if you don't have a better idea, I'd ask you to please add this to
your set and continue defining the new MSR protocol requests this way so
that it can be readable.


thanks Boris, I will include this in my series and rework the remaining patches to align with it.
