x86/boot: Add a pointer to Confidential Computing blob in bootparams
The previously defined Confidential Computing blob is provided to the kernel via a setup_data structure or EFI config table entry. Currently, these are both checked for by boot/compressed kernel to access the CPUID table address within it for use with SEV-SNP CPUID enforcement. To also enable that enforcement for the run-time kernel, similar access to the CPUID table is needed early on while it's still using the identity-mapped page table set up by boot/compressed, where global pointers need to be accessed via fixup_pointer(). This isn't much of an issue for accessing setup_data, and the EFI config table helper code currently used in boot/compressed *could* be used in this case as well since they both rely on identity-mapping. However, it has some reliance on EFI helpers/string constants that would need to be accessed via fixup_pointer(), and fixing it up while making it shareable between boot/compressed and run-time kernel is fragile ...
