The Page State Change NAE exit will be used by the SEV-SNP guest to
request a page state change using the GHCB protocol. See the GHCB
spec section 4.1.6 and 2.3.1 for more detail on the structure
definitions.

(2) The PSMASH and UNSMASH operations are not documented in the rev 2.00
spec, in the GHCB MSR protocol. That's probably because PSMASH and
UNSMASH can only be defined in terms of 2MB pages, and
GHCB_INFO_SNP_PAGE_STATE_CHANGE_REQUEST is suitable only for individual,
4KB pages. I think it would be useful to point out somehow here that
PSMASH and UNSMASH are restricted to the GHCB shared area protocol
(perhaps extend the leading comment on this block of macros).

(3) I don't understand what "MAX_NPAGES" stands for (4095). The rest of
the series never uses the macro, and I can't associate it with anything
from the spec. If the macro is supposed to relate to the 4KB / 2MB page
smashing / splitting, then its replacement text should be 512. Unless
the macro corresponds to a definition in the spec, I think we should
drop it.

(4) We tend to write

#pragma pack (1)
...
#pragma pack ()

rather than PACKED -- but anyway, is packing really necessary? "Natural
alignment" is required in edk2. I'm OK with packing, but I think the
pragma is the preferred form.

(5) Please spell out both "Rsvd" fields above as "Reserved".

(6) Stray space character in "Rsvd: 7".

(7) The field name "Op" is inconsistent with the other field name
"Operation".

(8) I think there is a bug (typo) in the rev 2.00 spec, in 4.1.6 "SNP
Page State Change": it says

... calculated from the supplied guest physical frame number (GFN) for
the requested page size (GPA = GFN << 12).

But, if you can choose 2MB page size in the request, then the (GPA = GFN
<< 12) formula is not g
Sorry, unfinished sentence: I meant that the formula was not generally
correct.

(9) If my understanding of the spec is correct, "EndEntry" has
*inclusive* meaning. That's unusual. Any particular reason for not
making "EndEntry" exclusive (in the spec)?

+typedef struct {
+ SNP_PAGE_STATE_HEADER Header;
+ SNP_PAGE_STATE_ENTRY Entry[SNP_PAGE_STATE_MAX_ENTRY];
+} SNP_PAGE_STATE_CHANGE_INFO;
+
#endif
Yes, this looks OK. Size is 2+2+4+253*8 = 2032 bytes, which matches the
size of GHCB.SharedBuffer.

(10) However, *if* you decide to declare SNP_PAGE_STATE_ENTRY and
SNP_PAGE_STATE_HEADER explicitly as packed, then you should do the same
for SNP_PAGE_STATE_CHANGE_INFO.

(11) Like I mentioned earlier, it's probably helpful if you start the
subject line with

MdePkg/Register/Amd: ...

on all of these MdePkg patches. If that becomes too tight, for some of
the MdePkg patches, then I suggest "MdePkg/Amd: ..." (i.e., drop
"Register").
