Tianyu: that document is SEV specific, and does not have the parts that SEV-SNP
uses. For SNP this is the firmware ABI:

https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/56860.pdf

and the API I think you mean is SNP_LAUNCH_UPDATE.

It would also help to mention that the data at EN_SEV_SNP_PROCESSOR_INFO_ADDR
is loaded as PAGE_TYPE_UNMEASURED.
