x86/sev: Prepare for using the RMPREAD instruction to access the RMP
The RMPREAD instruction returns an architecture defined format of an RMP
entry. This is the preferred method for examining RMP entries.
In preparation for using the RMPREAD instruction, convert the existing code
that directly accesses the RMP to map the raw RMP information into the
architecture defined format.
RMPREAD output returns a status bit for the 2MB region status. If the input
page address is 2MB aligned and any other pages within the 2MB region are
assigned, then 2MB region status will be set to 1. Otherwise, the 2MB region
status will be set to 0.
For systems that do not support RMPREAD, calculating this value would require
looping over all of the RMP table entries within that range until one is found
with the assigned bit set. Since this bit is not defined in the current
format, and so not used today, do not incur the overhead associated with
calculating it.
