Doc Text:
There is currently a known issue with the RHEL firmware definition file missing from some machine types, which causes the booting of instances with an image firmware of UEFI to fail with a UEFINotSupported exception. This issue is being addressed by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2109644. There is also a known issue when `mem_encryption=on` in the kernel args of an AMD SEV Compute node, that results in the Compute node kernel hanging after a reboot and not restarting. There is no workaround for these issues, therefore the AMD SEV feature is not available in RHOSP 17.0.

The release notes automation will pick up BZs with the right flags even if they're closed. With the doc text done and requires_doc_text set to +, we can close this.
