Brijesh Singh via groups.io d706f8fec2 OvmfPkg/MemEncryptSevLib: add function to check the VMPL0
BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3275

Virtual Machine Privilege Level (VMPL) feature in the SEV-SNP
architecture allows a guest VM to divide its address space into four
levels. The level can be used to provide the hardware isolated
abstraction layers with a VM. The VMPL0 is the highest privilege, and
VMPL3 is the least privilege. Certain operations must be done by the
VMPL0 software, such as:

* Validate or invalidate memory range (PVALIDATE instruction)
* Allocate VMSA page (RMPADJUST instruction when VMSA=1)

The initial SEV-SNP support assumes that the guest is running on VMPL0.
Let's add function in the MemEncryptSevLib that can be used for checking
whether guest is booted under the VMPL0.
