** Description changed:

  GCP is requesting the backport of the patch "6b080c4e815ceba3c08f
  iommu/amd: Add map/unmap_pages() iommu_domain_ops callback support" from
- upstream 6.2 to the 5.19 (kinetic) gcp kernel
+ upstream 6.2 to the 5.19 gcp kernel
  
  The following two patches are required for the backport:
   6b080c4e815ceba3c08ffa980c858595c07e7 iommu/amd/io-pgtable: Implement 
map_pages io_pgtable_ops callback
   251c4db699ca7b966db7e59e8663a231c96ba iommu/amd/io-pgtable: Implement 
unmap_pages io_pgtable_ops callback
  
  More info at
  https://canonical.lightning.force.com/lightning/r/Case/5008e00000CjJJCAA3/view
  
  Impact:
   - This allows the AMD iommu driver to map/unmap multiple pages in one call. 
GCP states that these changes also have a security side-effect which they are 
interested in.
  
  Testing:
   - Boot-tested the changes in a gcp SEV and non-SEV environment on AMD 
hardware.

could impact virtualization on AMD hardware. Risk is considered low as the 
changes are limited and apply cleanly from upstream.
