Honestly, this is an implementation detail that we don't need to know
about in the kernel. It's also not even factually correct. The
instruction _might_ not set any bits, either because there is SEV-SNP
memory or because it's being run in query mode.
The new RMPOPT instruction helps manage per-CPU RMP optimization
structures inside the CPU. It takes a 1GB-aligned physical
address and either returns the status of the optimizations or
tries to enable the optimizations.

The reset looks good.

To be honest, I think those two are just plain noise ^^.

Please at least be consistent with your comments. This is both over 80
columns *and* not even consistent in the two sentences.

What's wrong with:
u64 rmpopt_base = pa_start | MSR_AMD64_RMPOPT_ENABLE;
...
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
wrmsrq_on_cpu(cpu, MSR_AMD64_RMPOPT_BASE, rmpopt_base);
Then there's at least no ugly casting.
