I think we can define the size relative to NR_CPUS rather than picking
an arbitrary number of pages, maybe with a BUILD_BUG_ON to make sure
the total size won't require a second 2mb page for __decrpyted.

#define HVC_DECRYPTED_ARRAY_SIZE  \
	PAGE_ALIGN((NR_CPUS - HVC_BOOT_ARRAY_SIZE) * \
		   sizeof(struct pvclock_vsyscall_time_info))

Personal preference, but I think an if-elif-else with a single block
comment would be easier to read.

	/*
	 * Blah blah blah
	 */
	if (cpu < HVC_BOOT_ARRAY_SIZE)
		p = &hv_clock_boot[cpu];
	else if (sev_active())
		p = &hv_clock_dec[cpu - HVC_BOOT_ARRAY_SIZE];
	else
		p = kzalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL);
