Please base your tree off on tip:x86/asm then (or pull it in) - it only
includes this patch and another trivial patch at:

a0e3aa8fe6cb ("x86/insn: Avoid namespace clash by separating instruction decoder MMIO type from MMIO trace type")

We often modify these files - roughly ~4 commits to arch/x86/kernel/sev.c
alone per cycle on average - and it would be better to avoid conflicts
here.

Thanks,

Ingo
