If the bisect need outweighs any benefit from reviewing in pieces, then these patches can be squashed to a single patch: keys/mktme: Add the MKTME Key Service type for memory encryption keys/mktme: Program memory encryption keys on a system wide basis keys/mktme: Save MKTME data if kernel cmdline parameter allows keys/mktme: Support CPU Hotplug for MKTME keys Am I interpreting your point correctly?
