There are a few todos (2 I think?) and many of the commits need changelogs, i.e. it's still a WIP. As for next steps, can you (handwaving all of the TDX folks) take a look at what I pushed and see if there's anything horrifically broken, and that it still works for TDX? Fuad (and pKVM folks) same ask for you with respect to pKVM. Absolutely no rush (and I mean that). On my side, the two things on my mind are (a) tests and (b) downstream dependencies (SEV and TDX). For tests, I want to build a lists of tests that are required for merging so that the criteria for merging are clear, and so that if the list is large (haven't thought much yet), the work of writing and running tests can be distributed. Regarding downstream dependencies, before this lands, I want to pull in all the TDX and SNP series and see how everything fits together. Specifically, I want to make sure that we don't end up with a uAPI that necessitates ugly code, and that we don't miss an opportunity to make things simpler. The patches in the SNP series to add "legacy" SEV support for UPM in particular made me slightly rethink some minor details. Nothing remotely major, but something that needs attention since it'll be uAPI. I'm off Monday, so it'll be at least Tuesday before I make any more progress on my side. Thanks!
