Bah, building is overrated.

I guess you need

8260b9820f70 ("x86/sev: Use CC_ATTR attribute to generalize string I/O unroll")

before that.

I only have one "FAILED" email template, do I need another one for when the patch applies yet breaks the build?

I guess you could change that first sentence to

"The patch below does not apply (or build) to the X.XX-stable tree."

It seems I took it literally to mean it only doesn't apply.
