Setup the AP jump table to point to the SEV-ES trampoline code so that
the APs can boot.
Tom, in his laconic way, doesn't want to explain to us why is this even
needed...

:)

/me reads the code

/me reads the GHCB spec

aha, it gets it from the HV. And it can be set by the guest too...

So how about expanding that commit message as to why this is done, why
needed, etc?

Thx.

So this function gets slowly sprinkled with

Please wrap at least those last two into a

	sev_setup_real_mode()

or so.
