As far as setting sev*_enabled is concerned, i believe they are more specific to SNP/SEV/SEV-ES being enabled in the system,
which is separate from SEV_INIT/SNP_INIT (SNP_INIT success indicates that RMP been initialized, SNP has to be already enabled via
MSR_SYSCFG before SNP_INIT is called), though SEV_INIT/SNP_INIT may fail but SEV/SNP support will still be enabled on the
system.
Additionally as SEV_INIT/SNP_INIT during sev_platform_init() have failed, so any SEV/SEV-ES/SNP VM launch will fail
as the firmware will return invalid platform state as INITs have failed.
