Makes sense - meanwhile while Ard is iterating his build-warning patch 
here's the SEV fix that should address the build failure you've

   # HEAD: 1105ab42a84bc11c62597005f78ccad2434fbd66 x86/sev: Disable jump tables in SEV startup code

Fix a build regression on certain config and build environment
combinations that generate absolute references to symbols.

 Thanks,
