Why do you keep explaining in your commit messages what a patch does?

Do not talk about *what* the patch is doing in the commit message - that
should be obvious from the diff itself. Rather, concentrate on the *why*
it needs to be done.

Imagine one fine day you're doing git archeology, you find the place in
the code about which you want to find out why it was changed the way it
is now.

You do git annotate <filename> ... find the line, see the commit id and
you do:

git show <commit id>

You read the commit message and there's just gibberish and nothing's
explaining *why* that change was done. And you start scratching your
head, trying to figure out why. Because the damn commit message is worth
sh*t.

This commit message is not even trying to summarize what was figured out
in previous review in the thread here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240312184757.52699-1-Ashish.Kalra@amd.com

Please restructure this commit message using all the info from that
thread and use this structure, for example:

1. Prepare the context for the explanation briefly.

2. Explain the problem at hand.

3. "It happens because of <...>"

4. "Fix it by doing X"

5. "(Potentially do Y)."

And some of those above are optional depending on the issue being
explained.

For more detailed info, see
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst,
Section "2) Describe your changes".

Also, to the tone, from Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

"Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour."

We use CC_ATTR_HOST_SEV_SNP for host SNP support checks, including RMP
table viability.

Also, why isn't this called in snp_init()?

If there's a reason why (I think there is) put that reason as a comment
above it why this thing needs to be called here exactly.

IOW, point to the comment above that function's definition.

Merge this comment with the one above the function and put it all there.

This comment talks about what this does and is kinda obvious but then
talks about e820__range_update() and not the other ones. Just put the
gist of what this is supposed to do and do not explain the code step by
step.

What is really missing here and what is not really trivial is why all
three e820 tables need updating.
