SEV-SNP does not initialize to a legit state, unless the firmware is
loaded twice, when SEP API version < 1.43, and the firmware is updated
to a later version. Because of this user space needs to work around
this with "rmmod && modprobe" combo. Fix this by implementing the
workaround to the driver.

The SNP hypervisor patches are placing a minimum supported version
requirement for the SEV firmware that exceeds the specified version
above [1] (for the reason above, as well as some others), so this patch
is not needed, NAK.

Thanks,
Tom
