Gerd,
I understand that the patch tries to keep AMD flow as the original to avoid
breaking in AMD environment, no matter with or without SEV-ES.

Yuanhao,
I suggest you work with Tom later in a separate patch to put AMD64 non-SEV CPU
in 64bit paging mode as well, if Tom can help to test.

Thanks,
Ray
