Add warnings to let the user know when bounce buffers are being used for
DMA when SME is active.  Since the bounce buffers are not in encrypted
memory, these notifications are to allow the user to determine some
appropriate action - if necessary.  Actions can range from utilizing an
IOMMU, replacing the device with another device that can support 64-bit
DMA, ignoring the message if the device isn't used much, etc.

Looks to me like those two checks above need to be a:

void sme_check_mask(struct device *dev, u64 mask)
{
         if (!sme_me_mask)
                 return;

         /* Since mask is unsigned, this can only be true if SME is active */
         if (mask < (((u64)sme_me_mask << 1) - 1))
                 dev_warn(dev, "SME is active, device will require DMA bounce buffers\n");
}

which gets called and sme_dma_mask() is not really needed.

Makes a lot of sense, I'll update the patch.

Thanks,
Tom
