You really need to wait for more feedback before issuing a new version so
quickly. Especially since you asked a question about doing this just for
SME to which I agreed.
Also, you've used cc_platform_has() incorrectly in patches 1 and 2, so SEV
support is broke in the hypervisor with these changes.
Please just fix the SME concern that you have.
Thanks,
Tom
