The encryption attribute for the bss.decrypted region is cleared in the initial page table build. This is because the section contains the data that need to be shared between the guest and the hypervisor. When SEV-SNP is active, just clearing the encryption attribute in the page table is not enough. The page state need to updated in the RMP table.
