I think this series is nice, but its up to the KVM maintainers to decide... With regards, Daniel

Only struct MachineClass has .init() function defined. And I find both ppc and s390 calls the confidential_guest_kvm_init() (or their specific cgs kvm_init()) inside their machine_class->init(). > I think this series is nice, but its up to the KVM maintainers > to decide... > > > With regards, > Daniel
