Ping, in the end are we applying these patches for either 6.8 or 6.9?
Let me poke at them and see if we can stick them in x86/urgent early next week. They do fix an actual bug that's biting people, right?
Yes, I have gotten reports of {Sapphire,Emerald} Rapids machines that don't boot at all without either these patches or "disable_mtrr_cleanup".
We tried platform other than Sapphire and Emerald. This patchset can fix boot issues on that platform also.
Fengwei, could you also test this series on the troublesome hardware, please?
Sure. I will try it on my env. I just didn't connected your patchset to this boot issue. :(.

If it _also_ fixes the problem, it'll be a strong indication that it's the right long-term approach.
