So only use the > phys_to_virt() function if SME is not active This does not make sense to me. What the heck has phys_to_virt() to do with the encryption bit. Especially why would the encryption bit be set on that mapping in the first place? I'm probably missing something, but this want's some coherent explanation understandable by mere mortals both in the changelog and the code comment. Thanks, tglx
