So this patchset is not really ontop of Tom's patchset because this
patch doesn't apply. The reason is, Tom did the SME bit this way:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170216154236.19244.7580.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

but it should've been in scattered.c.

... and here it is in scattered.c, as it should be. So you've used an
older version of the patch, it seems.

Please sync with Tom to see whether he's reworked the v4 version of that
patch already. If yes, then you could send only the SME and SEV adding
patches as a reply to this message so that I can continue reviewing in
the meantime.

Thanks.
