[v7,10/13] kexec: Secure Launch kexec SEXIT support
Commit Message
Prior to running the next kernel via kexec, the Secure Launch code
closes down private SMX resources and does an SEXIT. This allows the
next kernel to start normally without any issues starting the APs etc.

SMX has been around for what, two decades? Is open coding getsec actually necessary?

Heh, the code and the comment don't really agree. I'm guessing the intent of the
comment is referring to leaving the measured environment, but it looks odd. If
manually setting SMXE is necessary, I'd just delete this comment, or maybe move
it to above SEXIT.

Is it actually legal to clear CR4.SMXE while post-SENTER? I don't see anything
in the SDM that says it's illegal, but allowing software to clear SMXE in that
case seems all kinds of odd.

There were some older gcc compilers that still did not like the getsec
mnemonic. Perhaps they are old enough now where they don't matter any
longer. I will check on that...

I will look it over and see what makes sense.

I am pretty sure I coded this up using the pseudo code in the TXT dev
guide and some guidance from Intel/former Intel folks. I will revisit it
to make sure it is correct.
Thanks
