I agree the "since" clause is missing, but I think this series (at least
patches 1-4) should be considered a bug fix (because booting with
-kernel will break in 6.2 for older OVMF which doesn't have guest
firmware area for hashes).

I think it should be added for 6.2.

If agreed, the hunk should be:
