Hi Ashish,

Don't block this because of my lack of understanding.  I'm still
curious about the interactions between SEV and kexec
--preserved-state. If you have concerns about --preserved-state
breaking live-migration (when returning to the original kernel), you
could have kexec's with that flag return an error on Live Migratable
SEV kernels.

Thanks,
Steve
