arch/x86/platform/uv/uv_irq.c:193: init_irq_alloc_info(&info, cpumask_of(cpu));
drivers/iommu/amd/init.c:2391: init_irq_alloc_info(&info, NULL);

Also, what patch 4's commit message says, sounds hacky to me. A simple
driver should not need the x86_vector_domain. Especially if it is some
ACPI wrapper around the PSP hw.

But I'd leave that to tglx.

Yeah, we've designed another mess there considering we already have

drivers/virt/coco/sev-guest/sev-guest.c

That sev guest thing has no place in sev.c and it should go away from
there.

drivers/hv/?

Seeing how hyperv is the only thing that's going to use it, AFAICT.
