Wow, slightly crazy that two people came up with exactly the same patch,
including adding the comment before the moved call.  And yes, this patch
only works until 6.6. :/

The commit that moved get_cpu_address_size(), which has sha id
fbf6449f84bf ("x86/sev-es: Set x86_virt_bits to the correct value
straight away, instead of a two-phase approach"), was buggy for AMD
processors; and it was noticed in the thread you linked, but never
addressed.  It works more or less by chance because early_init_amd()
calls init_amd(), but the x86_phys_bits value remains wrong for most of
the boot process.  The MTRRs are also initialized wrongly, but that at
least doesn't cause a #GP on AMD SME.

I think the correct fix is something like

diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c

on top of which my (or Jeremy's) patch can be applied.  I'll test it and
send a v2 of this patch.
