[RFC PATCH v6.10 1/4] x86/sev: Avoid WARN()s in early boot code

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Thu Mar 07 2024 - 09:31:16 EST


From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Using WARN() before the kernel is even mapped is unlikely to do anything
useful: the string literals are passed using their kernel virtual
addresses which are not even mapped yet. But even if they were, calling
into the printk machinery from the early 1:1 mapped code is not going to
get very far.

So drop the WARN()s entirely.
