Yea, I'm just thinking if we could take two patches down to one small one it might be a way to
essentially break off this work to another series without affecting the ability to boot a TD. It
*seems* to be the way things are going.

Ah, I missed this part. Can you elaborate? By dropping these two patches it doesn't prevent a TD
boot. If we then reject SET_CPUID, this will break things unless we make other changes? And they are
not small?
