That description makes the proposed comment even more confusing:
/* Flag to indicate when the first per-CPU GHCB is registered */
The important thing is that this variable is only _useful_ for the boot
CPU. After the boot CPU has allocated space for _itself_, it can then
go and stop using the MSR-based method.
The reason it's set after "the first" is because "the first" is also the
boot CPU, but referring to it as the "the first" is a bit oblique.
Maybe something like this:
/*
* Set after the boot CPU's GHCB is registered. At that point,
* it can be used for calls instead of MSRs.
*/
