I am okay with using SZ_4G but per the spec they don't spell that its 4G
size. It says bit 32 will should be set on error.

Typically the sev_es_ghcb_hv_handler() is called from #VC handler, which
provides the context structure. But in this and PSC case, the caller is
not a #VC handler, so we don't have a context structure. But as you
pointed, we could allocate context structure on the stack and pass it
down so that verify_exception_info() does not cause a panic with NULL
deference (when HV violates the spec and inject exception while handling
this NAE).

thanks
