There isn't that much of a difference between the normal and amd sev
build.  It has additional drivers and the grub boot loader added, smm
support turned off, network stack removed.

The differences between config-a and config-b are much larger according
to the design document.  config-b has a completely different
initialization code path, skipping the PEI phase.  I see that as a
major problem when it comes to long-term maintenance, and so far nobody
could explain the reason for this.

I'll go read the links to old discussions sent by Min, maybe I find
something there.

Having a config-b with network stack disabled, driver for RTMR trusted
boot added, maybe some other little tweaks but otherwise a boot workflow
identical to config-a is reasonable in my eyes.  Merging it with AmdSev
should also be relatively easy then.

take care,
  Gerd
