I will add something in comment to clarify that UNMASH and PSMASH are
not available in MSR protocol.

That macro is replaced is no longer used, I ended up creating a more
meaningful macro (SNP_PAGES_STATE_MAX_ENTRY). I will remove it MAX_NPAGES.

I think Tom already clarified it on his latest response.

Sometimes guest may need to fill only few entries. The "EndEntry" will
give hint to hypervisor that it should stop processing after it reached
to the EndEntry.
