CPUID instructions generate a #VC exception for SEV-ES/SEV-SNP guests, for which early handlers are currently set up to handle. In the case of SEV-SNP, guests can use a configurable location in guest memory that has been pre-populated with a firmware-validated CPUID table to look up the relevant CPUID values rather than requesting them from hypervisor via a VMGEXIT. Add the various hooks in the #VC handlers to allow CPUID instructions to be handled via the table. The code to actually configure/enable the table will be added in a subsequent commit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
