[Impact]

* Kernel OOPS encountered on 32-bit kernels due to commit cd0e9ab from
  git://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-gcp/+git/lunar

[Fix]

* Clean cherry pick from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git

[Test Case]

* Compile tested
* Boot tested
* To be tested by Google

[Where things could go wrong]

* Low chance of regression, isolated fix slightly modifying when value becomes
  available.

Rejected for the following reasons:
- the bug reference (above) is already in progress. Once a submission 
has been
  made you cannot use it for follow-ups. There is no sane way this can 
be tracked.
  There was a submission already which  is fix committed (that means 
something
  is applied to the current SRU cycle and this will be moved to fix 
released once
  the kernel releases).
- the change itself would also make sense to the distro kernels. I can 
see the
   need/desire to fix it in GCP as quickly as possible but I would 
prefer to see that
   also targeted to mantic,lunar:linux (the bug report you re-used did 
this as well).
- the pick from non-standard repos should be avoided (could still be work in
   progress). Better is to wait for it to appear on linux-next (which 
has happened
   now). Then it does not need to be SAUCE and has at least made one 
more step
   towards acceptance. This seems to be part of a whole bunch of fixes 
for SEV
   but has no cc:stable which might pose a risk it is not arriving via 
stable.
