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
