Subject: [PATCH] OvmfPkg/PlatformPei: Always reserve the SEV-ES work area

This is a workaround patch to always reserve the SEV-ES work area,
otherwise InternalMemEncryptSevStatus() may triggers unlimited reset
because OS writes to the area. (bsc#1192126, bsc#1187245)

The better solution is that checking the SEV-ES work area be reserved
in InternalMemEncryptSevStatus() before accessing the area. But
currently I didn't see appropriate API to confirm that.

The issue can not be reproduced on edk2-stable202111 because the
following patchset:
    80e67af9afcac3b OvmfPkg: introduce a common work area
    ab77b6031b03733 OvmfPkg/ResetVector: update SEV support to use new
work
                    area format
    b9af5037b270c47 OvmfPkg/ResetVector: move the GHCB page setup in
                    AmdSev.asm

But, too many changes since edk2-stable202008 for SEV, backporting the
above patches must also backported many patches of SEV. So I choice to
apply the workaround patch. The PcdSevEsWorkArea will always be reserved
as an ACPI_NVS region as this. The size is 4K:

[    0.000000] efi: mem06: [ACPI Mem NVS|   |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x000000000080b000-0x000000000080bfff] (0MB)

This patch will not be sent to upstream.
