Hi, Sean,

Do you think we can have a quick sync about the re-assess for pKVM on x86?

Thanks

No topic this week.  Feel free to come with questions about upstream processes, the status or direction of a particular series, KVM technical details, etc.

> Key Takeaways:
>  - Primary use case is to secure workloads that process/handle sensitive
>    biometric data (e.g. fingerprints, face authentication).
>  - SEAM is a poor fit as it doesn't provide mechanisms to restrict access to
>    non-DRAM "memory", e.g. access to the hardware devices that provide biometric
>    data.  And there's no line of sight to an AMD equivalent.
>  - pKVM support requires few changes outside of KVM (though the changes to KVM
>    are extensive).

> Next Steps:
>  - Re-assess in 3-4 weeks after people have had a chance to read through and
>    review the RFC patches.
