Since both of these options are provided by the GHCB protocol so I 
exposed it. Its possible that some applications may not care about the 
extended certificate blob. And in those case, if the hypervisor is 
programmed with the extended certificate blob and caller does not supply 
the enough number of pages to copy the blob then command should fail. 
This will enforce a new requirement on that guest application to 
allocate an extra memory. e.g:

1. Hypervisor is programmed with a system wide certificate blob using 
the SNP_SET_EXT_CONFIG ioctl().

2. Guest wants to get the report but does not care about the certificate 
blob.

3. Guest issues a extended guest report with the npages = 0. The command 
will fail with invalid length and number of pages will be returned in 
the response.

4. Guest will not need to allocate memory to hold the certificate and 
reissue the command.

The #4 is unnecessary for a guest which does not want to get. In this 
case, a guest can simply call the attestation report without asking for 
certificate blob. Please see the GHCB spec for more details.

thanks
