I am looking for feedback on this patch.

Can we go ahead and merge this patch or are you looking for anything
to be changed specifically for this patch ?

The SNP CipherTextHiding support and SEV firmware hotloading patch-sets
are gated on this patch series, so it will be nice to have some feedback
on moving this patch-set forward.

Thanks,
Ashish
