  The previous kernel (linux-image-5.4.0-91-generic) boots correctly
  with SEV.

  Bisection of the kernels b/w 5.4.0-91 and 5.4.0-92 identified the
  following commit as the source of regresssion :

  ...

  Since the panic happens in very early stages of boot, no trace of the
  panic is present in the log files and apparently it is not possible to
  collect a kernel crash dump, the crashkernel has not been enabled yet.

  [Test case]

  The kernel need to boot properly with SEV enabled.

  [Potential regression]

  The fix is very specific and restricted and should cause regressions,
  however it touches ioremap that is widely used.
