It means that *some* memory encryption - guest or host - is in use.

But my point about removing the outer check is bull - you need the
TDX/SEV checks too to figure out which mask to use.

So, reading Tom's latest email, having

cc_pgprot_encrypted(prot)

and
cc_pgprot_decrypted(prot)

in cc_platform.c and which hide all that logic inside doesn't sound like
a bad idea. And cc_platform.c already looks at sme_me_mask and we do
that there for the early path so I guess that's probably halfway fine...

Thx.
