This SOB chain looks good.

So I'm wondering if we could avoid this sprinkling of _PAGE_ENC in the
EFI code by defining something like __supported_pte_mask but called
__efi_base_page_flags or so which has _PAGE_ENC cleared in the SME case,
i.e., when baremetal and has it set in the SEV case.

Then we could simply OR in __efi_base_page_flags which the SME/SEV code
will set appropriately early enough.

Hmm.

Matt, what do you think?
