When Secure Memory Encryption is enabled, the trampoline area must not

A recent change that added a new system_state value exposed a warning
issued by early_ioreamp() when the system_state was not SYSTEM_BOOTING.
At the stage where the trampoline area is decrypted, the system_state is
now SYSTEM_SCHEDULING. The check was changed to issue a warning if the
system_state is greater than or equal to SYSTEM_RUNNING.
This piece along with the hunk touching system_state absolutely needs to
be a separate patch as it is unrelated.
Yup, will do.
Thanks,
