Did you not see this when running checkpatch.pl on your patch?

ERROR: do not initialise statics to 0
#141: FILE: arch/x86/kernel/sev-shared.c:22:
+static u16 ghcb_version __section(".data") = 0;

How is that even supposed to work? GHCB_PROTOCOL_MAX is 1 so
ghcb_version will be always 1 when you do min_t() on values one of which
is 1.

Maybe I'm missing something...
