Only the TMR allocation is converted to use the 2mb when SNP is enabled.

I was debating about it whether to include all the SNP supports in one
patch or divide it up. If I had included all legacy support new
requirement in the same patch which adds the SNP then it will be a big
patch. I had feeling that others may ask me to split it. So my approach is:

* In the first patch adds SNP support only

* Improve the legacy SEV/ES for the requirement when SNP is enabled.
Once SNP is enabled,  there are two new requirement for the legacy
SEV/ES guests

  1) TMR must be 2mb

  2) The buffer given to the firmware for the write must be in the
firmware state.

I also divided both of the new requirement in separate patches so that
its easy to review.
