-v9 changes:
-- Change the module into a platform driver (thanks Ard)
-- Remove special auto-loading code in efi; instead register a platform
-  device (udev will load the efi_secret module) (thanks Ard)
-- Change logging in the efi_secret module to dev_err() etc.
-- efi_secret: first check that the secret area header is valid; only then start
-  creating securityfs dirs.

-v8: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-coco/20220228114254.1099945-1-dovmurik@linux.ibm.com/
-v8 changes:
- - Change path of filesystem to <securityfs>/secrets/coco and fix the
-   documentation accordingly (Thanks Gerd, Matthew)
- - Remove patch 2/5 (of v7) because the latest OVMF release (edk2-stable202202)
-   already contains the fix to mark the launch secret page as EFI_RESERVED_TYPE.
-
-v7: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-coco/20220201124413.1093099-1-dovmurik@linux.ibm.com/
-v7 changes:
- - Improve description of efi_secret module in Kconfig.
- - Fix sparse warnings on pointer address space mismatch
-   (Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>)
-
-v6: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-coco/20211129114251.3741721-1-dovmurik@linux.ibm.com/
-v6 changes:
- - Autoload the efi_secret module if the secret area is populated
-   (thanks Greg KH).
- - efi_secret: Depend on X86_64 because we use ioremap_encrypted() which
-   is only defined for this arch.
- - efi_secret.c: Remove unneeded tableheader_guid local variable.
- - Documentation fixes.
-
-v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-coco/20211118113359.642571-1-dovmurik@linux.ibm.com/
-v5 changes:
- - Simplify EFI code: instead of copying the secret area, the firmware
-   marks the secret area as EFI_RESERVED_TYPE, and then the uefi_init()
-   code just keeps the pointer as it appears in the EFI configuration
-   table.  The use of reserved pages is similar to the AMD SEV-SNP
-   patches for handling SNP-Secrets and SNP-CPUID pages.
- - In order to handle OVMF releases out there which mark the
-   confidential computing secrets page as EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA, add
-   efi/libstub code that detects this and fixes the E820 map to reserve
-   this page.
- - In the efi_secret module code, map the secrets page using
-   ioremap_encrypted (again, similar to the AMD SEV-SNP guest patches
-   for accessing SNP-Secrets and SNP-CPUID pages).
- - Add documentation in Documentation/security/coco/efi_secret.

-   CONFIG_EFI_COCO_SECRET (thanks Greg KH).  Selecting
-   CONFIG_EFI_SECRET=m (patch 3) will enable the EFI parts as well.
- - Guard call to clflush_cache_range() with #ifdef CONFIG_X86
