Since this a fork of the AMD svsm code
(https://github.com/AMDESE/linux-svsm/), is it intended to be a
permanent fork, or are you going to be submitting your additions back
upstream like we're trying to do for our initial vTPM prototype?  From
the community point of view, having two different SVSM code bases and
having to choose which one to develop against is going to be very
confusing ...
