I'll suggest deferring to Nischala's pending patch.  Her patch
covers all 5 occurrences.  Also, I don't know if you were able
to test your patch in a Hyper-V Confidential VM.  She did test
in that configuration and confirmed that nothing broke.

Of course, feel free to correspond directly with Nischala
on how best to move forward.  I'm an unnecessary intermediary
who is just pointing out the overlap. :-)
