Yes, it is created by UEFI but consumed by the (guest) linux kernel.
This is actually part of a 3-way negotiation of the live migration
feature between hypervisor, guest OVMF and guest kernel. Host indicates
support for live migration, which is detected by OVMF and
correspondingly OVMF sets this SetLiveMigrationEnabled UEFI variable,
which is read by the guest kernel and it indicates to the guest kernel
that both host and OVMF support and have enabled the live migration
feature.
The guest flow for detecting live migration feature is captured below
(from the corresponding kernel patch):
The guest support for detecting and enabling SEV Live migration
feature uses the following logic :
- kvm_init_plaform() checks if its booted under the EFI
- If not EFI,
i) if kvm_para_has_feature(KVM_FEATURE_MIGRATION_CONTROL), issue a wrmsrl()
to enable the SEV live migration support
- If EFI,
i) If kvm_para_has_feature(KVM_FEATURE_MIGRATION_CONTROL), read
the UEFI variable which indicates OVMF support for live migration
(SetLiveMigrationEnabled)
ii) the variable indicates live migration is supported, issue a wrmsrl() to
enable the SEV live migration support

Yes. Actually this is hypervisor based live migration, so it relies on
host KVM and qemu support and it mainly requires OVMF support to make
hypercalls for any decrypted memory regions it sets up, for example,
MMIO and non-existant memory regions, so that hypervisor can keep track
of guest firmware's page encryption status.
So this is the full patch-set for UEFI for PSP based live migration.
