[edk2-devel] [PATCH V3 06/10] OvmfPkg: Add AmdSev.asm in ResetVector

[Yao, Jiewen]

Yes. I am thinking the same thing.

[CC Flag memory location]
1) A general purpose register, such as EBP.

2) A global variable, such as 
.data
TeeFlags: DD 0

3) A fixed region in stack, such as
dword[STACK_TOP - 4]

4) A new CC common fixed region, such as 
dword[CC_COMMON_FLAGS]

5) A fixed region piggyback on existing CC working area, such as
dword[CC_WORKING_AREA]

Hi Brijesh/Min
Any preference?

[CC Indicator Flags]
Proposal: UINT8[4]

Byte [0] Version: 0
byte [1] Length: 4
byte [2] Type:
	0: legacy
	1: SEV
	2: TDX
byte [3] Sub Type: 
	If Type is 0 (legacy), then
		0: legacy
	If Type is 1 (SEV), then
		0: SEV
		1: SEV-ES
		2: SEV-SNP
	If Type is 2 (TDX), then
		0: TDX 1.0

Thank you
Yao Jiewen
