For SEV/SEV-ES, a buffer can be used to access non-volatile data so it can be initialized from a file specified by the init_ex_path CCP module parameter instead of relying on the SPI bus for NV storage, and afterward the buffer can be read from to sync new data back to the file. When SNP is enabled, the pages comprising this buffer need to be set to firmware-owned in the RMP table before they can be accessed by firmware for subsequent updates to the initial contents. Implement that handling here.

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.
