"Advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 - Guest Stops Responding at efi_mokvar_sysfs_init+0xa9/0x19d with AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) Enabled"

The upstream fix cited in the article is the following :

x86/ioremap: Map EFI-reserved memory as encrypted for SEV

Adding this commit on top of kernel 5.4.0-92.103 does fix the booting issue.
