In case of SNP and crash/kdump case, we need to prevent the boot_ghcb being
converted to shared (in snp_kexec_unshare_mem()) as the boot_ghcb is
required to handle all I/O for disabling IO-APIC/lapic, hpet, etc., as the
enc_kexec_unshare_mem() callback is invoked before the apics, hpet, etc. are
disabled.

Is there any reason why enc_kexec_unshare_mem() callback is invoked in crash
case before the IO-APIC/lapic, hpet, etc. are shutdown/disabled ?
Not really. Either way works for TDX. I've tested the patch below. Is it
what you want?

Yes, this will work for SNP.
