Hurpmh... So with a bit of 'luck' you get code-gen like:

__set_memory_enc_dec:
	jmp __SCT_x86_set_memory_enc;

set_memory_encrypted:
	mov $1, %rdx
	jmp __set_memory_enc_dec

set_memory_decrypted:
	mov $0, %rdx
	jmp __set_memory_enc_dec


Which, to me, seems exceedingly daft. Best to make all 3 of those
inlines and use EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_TRAMP_GPL(x86_set_memory_enc) or
something.

This is assuming any of this is actually performance critical, based off
of this using static_call() to begin with.
