Erm, yes indeed - I checked the first dependency which had the wrong SHA1
listed and which dependency is already upstream as 8dbe33956d96, but I missed
the second dependency:

Alexey, for the v3 submission, instead of sending a standalone patch
that relies on a yet unmerged patch that was last submitted about two
months ago, please send a full series of patches that is self-consistent.
Ie. it should look something like this:
[PATCH 0/2] x86: Misc SEV-SNP fixes
[PATCH 1/2] x86/sev: Fix SNP CPUID requests to the hypervisor
[PATCH 2/2] x86/compressed/64: Reduce #VC nesting for intercepted CPUID for SEV-SNP guest
( You can add your SOB to Tom's first patch, to signal that you
tested it and are forwarding it, and that your fix relies on that fix. )
Thanks,
Ingo
