Sounds like something I should add to pgtable_types.h (which has a
#define for PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC_NOENC, but not PAGE_KERNEL_NOENC). I'll
create that #define.

As for the sme_active() check I was getting ahead of myself since
under SEV the encryption mask is needed. I'll change it to just
return PAGE_KERNEL_NOENC and then worry about the SEV change in
the SEV patches.

Thanks,
Tom
