The header is included in assembly, so I made a separate one.

Right, but the sev_es_setup_ap_jump_table_blob() function is already
pretty big and I wanted to keep things readable.

This is in an initcall and it returns just 0 when the environment is not
ready to setup the ap jump table. Returning non-zero would create a
warning message in the caller for something that is not a bug in the

Fair, sorry for my english being too german :) I changed everything to
'jump table'.

XOR changes EFLAGS, can not use them here.

This is the CR0 reset value. I have updated the comment to make this
more clear.
