Using a GHCB for a page stage change (as opposed to the MSR protocol) allows for multiple pages to be processed in a single request. In prep for early PSC requests in support of unaccepted memory, update the invocation of vmgexit_psc() to be able to use the early boot GHCB and not just the per-CPU GHCB structure. In order to use the proper GHCB (early boot vs per-CPU), set a flag that indicates when the per-CPU GHCBs are available and registered. For APs, the per-CPU GHCBs are created before they are started and registered upon startup, so this flag can be used globally for the BSP and APs instead of creating a per-CPU flag. This will allow for a significant reduction in the number of MSR protocol page state change requests when accepting memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
