I didn't really understand this comment. After doing a little research, let
me suggest this wording:

/*
* The "early" parameter can be true only if old-style AMD
* Opteron NUMA detection is enabled, which should never be
* the case for an SEV-SNP guest. See CONFIG_AMD_NUMA.
* For safety, just do nothing if "early" is true.
*/

Let me know if this new wording makes sense based on your understanding.


Yes, it makes sense. Will update. Thanks.
