It's tested against both 6.11 (actually a slightly older branch in
kvm.git) and the CentOS Stream 9 kernel. The CentOS Stream 9 kernel
has the same SNP code as Linux 6.11.

The current head of the AMD fork (https://github.com/AMDESE/qemu
snp-latest) is not in line with the upstream kernel, for example:

66e7fbadfc8 i386/sev: Add KVM_EXIT_VMGEXIT handling for Page State Changes
e9898385037 i386/sev: Add KVM_EXIT_VMGEXIT handling for Page State
Changes (MSR-based)

What problems are you seeing with Linux 6.11?
