Dear Maintainer,


Please enable virtualisation drivers (VIRT_DRIVERS) on cloud flavours.
By enable them the following drivers could be used on cloud platforms:

VMGENID

  The VM generation ID (vmgenid) device is an emulated device which exposes
  a 128-bit, cryptographically random, integer value identifier, referred
  to as a Globally Unique Identifier, or GUID.

NITRO_ENCLAVES 

  AWS Nitro Enclaves enables customers to create isolated compute environments
  to further protect and securely process highly sensitive data.

SEV_GUEST 

  SEV-SNP firmware provides the guest a mechanism to communicate with
  the PSP without risk from a malicious hypervisor who wishes to read,
  alter, drop or replay the messages sent. The driver provides
  userspace interface to communicate with the PSP to request the
  attestation report and more.

TDX_GUEST_DRIVER 

  The driver provides userspace interface to communicate with
  the TDX module to request the TDX guest details like attestation
  report.


A MR was created with this proposal at:

Thanks,
Miguel Bernal Marin
