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.
