(1) Please replace:

  After enabling paging,

with:

  The second step is that, after enabling paging,

I had to stare quite long at the commit message and the code, but
ultimately, it is clearly documented that the 1st and 3rd checks cover
both SEV and SEV-ES, while the 2nd check only covers SEV-ES. OK.

(2) This does not seem to happen in this patch.

If you agree, please drop this paragraph from the commit message.

Thanks for this hint. Reviewing this patch with "--find-copies-harder
-C20" is indeed easier.

(4) Considering *both* HLT loops introduced in this patch:

would it make sense to insert a CLI before *each* HLT?

In UefiCpuPkg, we do that in several places.

I'm guessing it might help if the hypervisor tried to inject #VC or some
other exception while the guest is intentionally stuck in the HLT loop.
(I don't know if forcing the guest to run an exception handler is in any
way exploitable, I just think once we land here, the hypervisor should
have as little control as possible.)

The patch looks fine otherwise.
