I agree with Borislav and have some comments of my own.

This flow would suit me better too. In SNP-host capable Hyper-V VMs there
is no IOMMU and I've had to resort to early return from amd_iommu_snp_enable()
to prevent it from disabling SNP [1]. In addition to what Borislav posted,
you'd just need to enforce that if IOMMU is detected it actually gets enabled.

Yes please, and the only rmp thing left to do per-CPU would be to check that the MSRs are
set the same as the value read from CPU0.

Running the early_rmptable_check() from early_detect_mem_encrypt() and on every CPU
makes it difficult to support a kernel allocated RMP table. If you look at what I did
for the mentioned Hyper-V SNP-host VMs [2] (which I think is reasonable) the RMP table
is allocated in init_mem_mapping() and the addresses are propagated to other CPUs through 
hv_cpu_init(), which is called from cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_HYPERV_ONLINE, ...). So
it would be great if any init works plays nice with cpu hotplug notifiers.
