With the way I'm re-ordering the patches (building the exception handling
up first), the per-CPU allocation will just be part of the overall GHCB
allocation in each phase and be separate patches.

Ok, I'll do that if we decide that S3 is supported after discussing it
some more.

I guess I need to understand more about this. Does the page table
manipulation occur in the guest or hypervisor? If in the guest, then that
is ok. But the page tables can't be successfully manipulated by the
hypervisor.

Brijesh commented in the referenced link that he was able to do
suspend/resume successfully. It's possible that some later changes caused
that to fail?

Maybe we need to understand how you did your S3 test vs. how Brijesh did
his.

It's probably worth doing this as the only S3-related patch in this series
until we understand the complete SEV-ES / S3 requirements. I'm a bit
hesitant to include base SEV in this until we discuss some more.

No worries, they're not!
