The support for guest RAM encryption using AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted
Virtualization) added in Train is incompatible with a number of image
metadata options:
- ``hw_scsi_model=virtio-scsi`` and either ``hw_disk_bus=scsi`` or
``hw_cdrom_bus=scsi``
- ``hw_video_model=virtio``
- ``hw_qemu_guest_agent=yes``
When used together, the guest kernel can malfunction with repeated warnings
like::
