probe_roms() accesses the memory range (0xc0000 - 0x10000) to probe
various ROMs. The memory range is not part of the E820 system RAM
range. The memory range is mapped as private (i.e encrypted) in page
table.
When SEV-SNP is active, all the private memory must be validated before
the access. The ROM range was not part of E820 map, so the guest BIOS
did not validate it. An access to invalidated memory will cause a VC
exception. The guest does not support handling not-validated VC exception
yet, so validate the ROM memory regions before it is accessed.

x86/kernel: Validate ROM memory before accessing when SEV-SNP is active
probe_roms() accesses the memory range (0xc0000 - 0x10000) to probe
various ROMs. The memory range is not part of the E820 system RAM range.
The memory range is mapped as private (i.e encrypted) in the page table.
When SEV-SNP is active, all the private memory must be validated before
accessing. The ROM range was not part of E820 map, so the guest BIOS
did not validate it. An access to invalidated memory will cause a
exception yet, so validate the ROM memory regions before it is accessed.
