A couple of quick notes...
- This is describing an x86 subarchitecture feature, so it seems to me
that Documentation/x86 would be a more logical place for it. Yes, KVM
can use this feature, but it's not a KVM feature and there might be
something else that takes advantage of it too.
- Any chance of getting it formatted as RST? It's almost there already.
Beyond that, the document obviously falls far short of what one would
have to know to use SEV; probably filling all that in would make it long
indeed.
Thanks,
jon
