verify_cpu.S is also used on 32bit and this function is 64bit code. It
can be made working with some #ifdef'fery but I think it is cleaner to
just keep it in a separate file, also given that sev_verify_cbit() is
not needed at every place verify_cpu() is called.

Makes sense, will update the function.
