Hi!

Well, actually brief summary should go to changelog and probably to the documentation,
too...
Why would I want SME on my system? My system seems to work without it.
Does it protect against cold boot attacks? Rowhammer (I guess not?)
Does it cost some performance?
Does it break debugging over JTAG?

Do you also need to do something special for device DMA?
Thanks,
Pavel
