Exactly.  This weird encryption bit in AMD SME causes all kinds of harm,
and I'm glad no one picked it up.  I've also been wondering if we
should change the interface to explicit set/clear the bit, but I'll
leave that for another pass as fixing up the SME interfaces would turn
into a massive disgression.
