As I wrote in a different e-mail, this DSB isn't actually needed as
the processor shouldn't speculate beyond the WFE. But it's harmless
anyway.

What's the need for the dsb() here (one before SEV maybe)?

Also, do we need to add a "memory" clobber to the SEV asm, not sure
whether the compiler would try to reorder the code.
