Yes, the auxiliary array will dumped into the regular .bss when
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=n. Typically it will be few k, I am not
sure if its worth complicating the code to save those extra memory.
Most of the distro's have CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y anyways.

I just realized that we'll try to create a bogus array if 'NR_CPUS <=
HVC_BOOT_ARRAY_SIZE'.  A bit ugly, but we could #ifdef away both that
and CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=n in a single shot, e.g.:

#if defined(CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT) && NR_CPUS > HVC_BOOT_ARRAY_SIZE
#define HVC_AUX_ARRAY_SIZE  \
	PAGE_ALIGN((NR_CPUS - HVC_BOOT_ARRAY_SIZE) * \
		   sizeof(struct pvclock_vsyscall_time_info))
static struct pvclock_vsyscall_time_info
	hv_clock_aux[HVC_AUX_ARRAY_SIZE] __decrypted __aligned(PAGE_SIZE);
#endif


The HVC_BOOT_ARRAY_SIZE macro uses sizeof(..) and to my understanding
the sizeof operators are not allowed in '#if'. Anyway, I will try to see
if it can be used, if not then I will stick to CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT
check.
