Fair enough :)
So, 5.16 is now dead and end-of-life, but the original commit here still
looks to be needed in older kernels going back quite a ways. And
8260b9820f70 ("x86/sev: Use CC_ATTR attribute to generalize string I/O
unroll") does not apply cleanly to 5.15 or older and given that it's
touching memory encryption code, I'm not comfortable guessing about the
backport.
So can you, or anyone else that cares, provide a set of backported
patches for this issue that we can apply to the stable trees?
