it has the same issue as pc_max_used_gpa(), i.e.
  x86ms->above_4g_mem_size != 0
doesn't mean that there isn't any memory above 4Gb nor that there aren't
any MMIO (sgx/cxl/pci64hole), that's was the reason we were are considering
max_used_gpa

I'd prefer to keep pc_max_used_gpa(),
idea but make it work for above cases and be more generic (i.e. not to be
tied to AMD only) since 'pc_max_used_gpa() < physbits' applies to equally
to AMD and Intel (and to trip it, one just have to configure small enough
physbits or large enough hotpluggable RAM/CXL/PCI64HOLE)
