Any reason not to simply use separate APIs?  E.g. sev_snp_platform_init() and
sev_platform_init()?

And if the cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP) check is moved inside of
sev_snp_platform_init() (probably needs to be there anyways), then the KVM code
is quite simple and will undergo minimal churn.

E.g.
