** No longer affects: linux-gcp (Ubuntu Plucky)

** Description changed:

  SRU Justification
  
  [Impact]
- Google has requested a backport of the following patchset:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250228014416.3925664-1-vannapu...@google.com/
+ Google has requested a backport of the following commits:
+ 22cc5ca5de52 ("x86/paravirt: Move halt paravirt calls under CONFIG_PARAVIRT")
+ 9f98a4f4e721 ("x86/tdx: Fix arch_safe_halt() execution for TDX VMs")
  Targets include 6.8 onwards.
  
  [Fix]
- Backport the three patches in that patchset, as needed, to noble:linux-gcp, 
oracular:linux-gcp, and plucky:linux-gcp.
+ Backport the patches as needed to noble:linux-gcp and later kernels.
  
  [Test plan]
  Compile and boot test. Verification on Google's side is optional as this is a 
fairly isolated backport.
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  This fix affects TDX guest VMs which call the HLT instruction. An issue with 
this fix would be visible to the user as unexpected #VEs (virtualization 
exceptions) or unexpected interrupt behavior in their TDX guest VM.
