Yes, please do, and thanks to both you and Thomas for the guidance and
code reviews.

Once these patches take on their final form in your branch, how supportive
would you be of stable backports going back to 4.19 LTS?

There have been several changes to this area over time, so there are
varying levels of rework that need to be done for each stable kernel back
to 4.19. But I'd be happy to do that work if you are receptive to it.

For rationale, without these fixes, all SEV enabled guests warn of
blocking in rcu read side critical sections when using drivers that
allocate atomically though the DMA API that calls set_memory_decrypted().
Users can see warnings such as these in the guest:
