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.

Thanks,
Alex.
