Min M Xu a89f558d3c OvmfPkg/UefiCpuPkg/UefiPayloadPkg: Rename VmgExitLib to CcExitLib
BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4123

VmgExitLib once was designed to provide interfaces to support #VC handler
and issue VMGEXIT instruction. After TDVF (enable TDX feature in OVMF) is
introduced, this library is updated to support #VE as well. Now the name
of VmgExitLib cannot reflect what the lib does.

This patch renames VmgExitLib to CcExitLib (Cc means Confidential
Computing). This is a simple renaming and there is no logic changes.
After renaming all the VmgExitLib related codes are updated with
CcExitLib. These changes are in OvmfPkg/UefiCpuPkg/UefiPayloadPkg.

This is an *experimental* port of OVMF for the QEMU microvm
machine type.

microvm background info
-----------------------

microvm is designed for modern, virtio-based workloads.  Most legacy
lpc/isa devices like pit and pic can be turned off.  virtio-mmio
(i.e. '-device virtio-{blk,net,scsi,...}-device') is used for
storage/network/etc.

Optional pcie support is available and any pcie device supported by
QEMU can be plugged in (including virtio-pci if you prefer that over
virtio-mmio).

design issues
-------------

Not fully clear yet how to do hardware detection best.  Right now
using device tree to find virtio-mmio devices and pcie host bridge,
can reuse existing ArmVirtPkg code that way.  Needs patched QEMU.

features
--------
 [working] serial console
 [working] direct kernel boot
 [working] virtio-mmio support
 [working] pcie support

known limitations
-----------------
 * rtc=on is required for now.
 * can't use separate code/vars (actually an microvm limitation,
   there is no pflash support).
 * transitional virtio-pci devices do not work.  microvm doesn't
   support ioports on pcie, and ovmf doesn't initialize pcie devices
   with ioports if there is no address space for them (even though
   pcie devices are required to be functional without ioports).
