The casting here is pretty ugly.  Also, isn't ->cpuid_phys already a
u64?  Whats the idea behind casting it?

I also have a sneaking suspicion that a single "unsigned long cc_blob"
could remove virtually all the casting.  Does this work?

	unsigned long cc_blob = boot_params->cc_blob_addres;
	struct cc_blob_sev_info *cc_info;

	add_identity_map(cc_blob, cc_blob + sizeof(*cc_info));

	cc_info = (struct cc_blob_sev_info *)cc_blob;
	add_identity_map(cc_info->cpuid_phys,
			 cc_info->cpuid_phys + cc_info->cpuid_len);
