I rebased to correct a "Fixes" tag that pointed to the wrong commit.
This: https://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=151943277910352&w=2 is the mail that
pointed out the right commit, and you can see that those 28 commits have
times that are clustered five minutes after that mail.

The SEV patches indeed have been committed about half an hour before
sending the PULL request, because no one outside AMD has all the
hardware and code to test them.  Half an hour is about the time it takes
me to do the final smoke test before sending a pull request.
