That "sev_status memory" formulation is just weird. Pls fix it while
you're touching that comment.

Don't you see sev_es_rd_ghcb_msr() in that same file above? Do a common
rdmsr() helper and call it where needed, pls, instead of duplicating
code.

misc.h looks like a good place.

Extra bonus points will be given if you unify callers in
arch/x86/boot/cpucheck.c too but you don't have to - I can do that
ontop.

Thx.
