From: Joerg Roedel <redacted> The #VC handler only cares about IRQs being disabled while the GHCB is active, as it must not be interrupted by something which could cause another #VC while it holds the GHCB (NMI is the exception for which the backup GHCB exits). Make sure nothing interrupts the code path while the GHCB is active by disabling IRQs in sev_es_get_ghcb() and restoring the previous irq state in sev_es_put_ghcb().
Note for committer: update those function names.
