So now almost 50 patches after exporting kvm_io_bus_read() I have
finally reached the place which makes use of it. But that's just a minor
detail compared to this:

Can you pretty please explain how this massive pile of code is related
to the subject line and the change log of this patch?
It takes more than 2000 lines of code to add a new member to struct
kvm_arch?
Seriously? This definitely earns an award for the most disconnected
changelog ever.

Yes, the above would be the patch which would be expected according to
the changelog and the subject line.
And no. Throwing a 2000+ lines patch over the fence which builds up the
complete infrastructure for TDX in KVM is not how that works. This patch
(aside of the silly changelog) is an unreviewable maze.
So far in this series, there was a continuous build up of infrastructure
in reviewable chunks and then you expect a reviewer to digest 2000+
lines at once for no reason and with the most disconneted changelog
ever?
This can be done structured and gradually, really.
1) Add the basic infrastructure
2) Add functionality piece by piece
There is no fundamental dependency up to the point where you enable TDX,
but there is a fundamental difference of reviewing 2000+ lines of code
at once or reviewing a gradual build up of 2000+ lines of code in small
pieces with proper changelogs for each of them.
You can argue that my request is unreasonable until you are blue in
your face, it's not going to lift my NAK on this.
I've mopped up enough half baken crap in x86/kvm over the years and I
have absolutely no interest at all to mop up after you again.
x86/kvm is not a special part of the kernel and neither exempt from
general kernel process nor from x86 specific scrunity rules.
That said, I'm stopping the review right here simply because looking at
any further changes does not make any sense at all.
Thanks,
tglx
