Sure will change.

Yes, this can be removed.

I am moving the routines and also making sure that sev-guest driver works with this change. So sev-guest driver will not need to call snp_setup_psp_messaging().

I will try this out, as for secure tsc the vmpck will be used once and the sequence number would have incremented. And VMPCK0 will be initialized twice.
