[Part1,RFC,v4,14/36] x86/kernel: Validate rom memory before accessing when SEV-SNP is active

Commit Message

The probe_roms() access the memory range (0xc0000 - 0x10000) to probe
various ROMs. The memory range is not part of the E820 system RAM
range. The memory range is mapped as private (i.e encrypted) in page
table.

When SEV-SNP is active, all the private memory must be validated before
the access. The ROM range was not part of E820 map, so the guest BIOS
did not validate it. An access to invalidated memory will cause a VC
exception. The guest does not support handling not-validated VC exception
yet, so validate the ROM memory regions before it is accessed.
