x86/sev: Use large PSC requests if applicable
In advance of providing support for unaccepted memory, request 2M Page State Change (PSC) requests when the address range allows for it. By using a 2M page size, more PSC operations can be handled in a single request to the hypervisor. The hypervisor will determine if it can accommodate the larger request by checking the mapping in the nested page table. If mapped as a large page, then the 2M page request can be performed, otherwise the 2M page request will be broken down into 512 4K page requests. This is still more efficient than having the guest perform multiple PSC requests in order to process the 512 4K pages. In conjunction with the 2M PSC requests, attempt to perform the associated PVALIDATE instruction of the page using the 2M page size. If PVALIDATE fails with a size mismatch, then fallback to validating 512 4K pages. To do this, page validation is modified to work with the PSC structure and not just a virtual address range.
