So this is confusing me. There's this patch which says EFI data is
accessed in the clear:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160822223738.29880.6909.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
but now here it is encrypted when SEV is enabled.
Do you mean, it is encrypted here because we're in the guest kernel?
Thanks.
