Works for me with SME on or off with af7b480103, and with SME off in
abfbb29297. There is some regression with amdgpu and SME between those
two points, I need to check that out too. I haven't tested either before
or after with SEV (which I'm not even sure my system supports).
Regardless, this is a definite improvement.
