I'm still not happy about the two's sev_active() and __sev_active()
naming. Perhaps the __ variant should be called sev_key_active() or ...

Blergh, my naming sux. In any case, it would be cool to be more obvious
from the naming which variant uses the static key and which is the slow
one.

I'm also thinking of maybe having a single sev_active() which uses the
static key but that is perhaps an overkill on slow paths...

Hrrmmm.

In any case, looking at gcc output, the unrolled variant gets put
out-of-line, as expected.
