Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SEV: Reject MMIO requests larger than 8 bytes with GHCB
 v2+

When using GHCB v2+, reject MMIO requests that are larger than 8 bytes.
Per the GHCB spec:

  SW_EXITINFO2 must be less than or equal to 0x7fffffff for version 1 and
  less than or equal to 0x8 for all other versions.
