x86/sev: Check the VMPL level
The Virtual Machine Privilege Level (VMPL) feature in the SEV-SNP architecture allows a guest VM to divide its address space into four levels. The level can be used to provide hardware isolated abstraction layers within a VM. VMPL0 is the highest privilege level, and VMPL3 is the least privilege level. Certain operations must be done by the VMPL0 software, such as: * Validate or invalidate memory range (PVALIDATE instruction) * Allocate VMSA page (RMPADJUST instruction when VMSA=1) The initial SNP support requires that the guest kernel is running at VMPL0. Add such a check to verify the guest is running at level 0 before continuing the boot. There is no easy method to query the current VMPL level, so use the RMPADJUST instruction to determine whether the guest is running at the VMPL0.
