Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 1/4] OvmfPkg/MemEncryptHypercallLib: add library to support SEV hypercalls.
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 15:02:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210623150225.GA8080@ashkalra_ubuntu_server> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210623014747.GA6881@ashkalra_ubuntu_server>

Hello Tom, Brijesh,

Thanks for your comments and feedback on this patch-set.

With reference to those, i will remove the new library and
add the hypercall function inside BaseMemEncryptSevLib library.

Also i will let the hypercall handling for SEV-ES be done 
as part of #VC exception handling in VmgExitLib library.

Thanks,
Ashish
