Guess that makes both of us :)

Yeah, that seems like a fair plan to me. I was a little concerned about
a future change that would require backporting to kernels that have
da86eb961184 (i.e., 6.6) that do not have a9ef277488cf and miss this fix
but that is a bridge that can be crossed if it ever appears, no point in
thinking too hard about it at this point.

I can send a v2 on Monday, unless Paolo wants to just add

Fixes: a9ef277488cf ("x86/kvm: Fix SEV check in sev_map_percpu_data()")

directly during application. I think the rest of the patch is fine but
if there are any other changes that should be made, I am more than happy
do to so.

Cheers,
