Here's the v2 discussion:

- http://mid.mail-archive.com/9804ecb5-8afd-c56e-4982-d1a6ebad3de8@redhat.com
- https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/74797
- https://listman.redhat.com/archives/edk2-devel-archive/2021-May/msg00112.html

That discussion refers to a different use case, raised by Dov. That use
case might justify reserving the area even for plain SEV. It's out of
scope for now, AIUI.

(

And even for that separate use case, James showed down-thread that *not*
reserving the page forever in the firmware is more flexible.

- http://mid.mail-archive.com/aed7d3490fe6edee74440ed8e4cd5364fb2ba4af.camel@linux.ibm.com
- https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/74801
- https://listman.redhat.com/archives/edk2-devel-archive/2021-May/msg00116.html

)

AFAICT, the only effect of the v2 sub-thread on the patch has been that
we now use the Reserved memory type rather than AcpiNVS (when SEV-SNP is
in use). I have two comments on that:

- It's good that we're not mixing in the other use case raised by Dov
  (i.e., enabling the guest-kernel to read secrets from the injected
  page even under plain SEV).

- It's still unclear to me why the reservation needs to be permanent
  under SEV-SNP.

Thanks
