Hi, Sean,

Do you think we can have a quick sync about the re-assess for pKVM on x86?

Thanks

Apologies for the slow update, I was waiting for the recording to become
available and was OOO Th/F last week.

Key Takeaways:
 - Primary use case is to secure workloads that process/handle sensitive
   biometric data (e.g. fingerprints, face authentication).
 - SEAM is a poor fit as it doesn't provide mechanisms to restrict access to
   non-DRAM "memory", e.g. access to the hardware devices that provide biometric
   data.  And there's no line of sight to an AMD equivalent.
 - pKVM support requires few changes outside of KVM (though the changes to KVM
   are extensive).

Next Steps:
 - Re-assess in 3-4 weeks after people have had a chance to read through and
   review the RFC patches.

Yes, any topic is fair game.

thanks, Sean! Then if possible, could we do the quick sync next week?

No, as called out in the agenda I am unavailable/OOO the next three weeks.

My apologies for being unresponsive to your pings, I am bogged down with non-upstream
stuff at the moment.  It will likely be several weeks before I can take an in-depth
look, as I need to get going on a few things for v6.7 (vPMU fixes in particular).

Got it, Sean, then let's wait for several weeks to discuss next.

Thanks!
