A user of that interface doesn't care, right?
All she wants to do is pass in an address and size and the code will
figure out everything. And I think address and size is the simplest two
args you can pass. numpages can be calculated from it. As you do in
sme_set_mem_*.
And you need to do it all in pageattr.c because it uses the cpa wankery
in there so you probably want to define
int set_memory_dec(unsigned long addr, size_t size)
int set_memory_enc(unsigned long addr, size_t size)
there which both simply call
__set_memory_enc_dec(unsigned long addr, size_t size, bool enc)
and it goes and figures out everything, builds the cpa_data and does the
mapping.
That looks very simple and clean to me.
