No worries, I was getting nervous because of a job switch, now I have time since cannot move this forward for week or two anyway :-) I'm totally +1 to make bus encyption opt-in instead of opt-out. It's just not there yet. My fixes fix one use case, i.e. the boot process for AMD, so in that sense they are totally legit. But it is pretty clear by now that tons of similar patches and small tweaks will be required. As it is my 2nd work week, I can implement such patch, *next week*.

I'll keep this in mind! I'd prefer to do a single patch set probably with my previous fixes and this, as they are already tested by the reporter anyway and pile this as a new patch on top. I.e. have basically all that I'd put to the next PR. > > thanks, > > Mimi BR, Jarkko
