The reason is that these two patches create conflicts. Since this series
involves file movement, resolving those conflicts was not
straightforward. Therefore, I rebased the series on top of both of the
following commits:
commit 24f55f511b9e ("virt: arm-cca-guest: use migrate_disable() for attestation token requests")
commit e62decaf98e7 ("arm64/coco: Add pKVM as a CC platform")
