Linux 7.4 corrects AMD Zen 5-and-newer TLB size reporting

Linux 7.4 fixes an under-reporting issue introduced with Zen 5: the processors report TLB sizes in multiples of 32, but the kernel had not accounted for that change. The corrected values will be exposed through /proc/cpuinfo and related interfaces. The same merge window also adds an optimization for lightly loaded Zen 6 SEV guests and a sysfs interface for reporting AMD SEV status.

Phoronix’s page exposed no readable reader discussion, so no reactions are claimed.
