AMD SEV: confidential autoconf whitelist
Hi,
When running confidential -- ie. SEV-* is active -- disable all
autoconf attached devices except a set of white listed devices.
This is similar to disabling devices using UKC.
Running on a hypervisor puts emphasis on device drives as attack
surface. Thus we want to reduce that surface in a confidential
setting.
Take care,
Hans-Joerg
