Thank you, Tom. I'm very glad that you would like to review my patches, and
also gave me some advice to improve these patches.

Yes, we are planning to add SEV kdump support after this.
And i also welcome that you would like to review my SEV kdump patch again.

Previously, i had loaned a speedway machine, however i could not reproduce this
issue on this machine. But on the 'HP ProLiant DL385Gen10' machine, this issue
was always reproduced.(btw: the code is the same.)

I'm not sure whether this issue is relate to hardware. I had printed these values,
and i remembered that the value of ehdr.e_phum was valid.

Because this issue is only reproduced on DL385Gen10 machine, i decreased the priority
of dealing with this issue.

If you also care about this issue, i can create a new email thread to trace this issue.
What do you think about this?

Thanks
