The call to sev_es_negotiate_protocol() could be moved down to after the
initial_vc_handler if-check in setup_ghcb(). That would then put the call
to sev_es_negotiate_protocol() only in the BSP boot phase (and it only
needs be done once). Does doing that prevent the #PF for you?

This tag needs to be moved above your Signed-off-by: and it needs a
Signed-off-by: for the co-developer.

Thanks,
