Because it's not convenient to parse dmesg. And about /proc/cpuinfo,
it tells you about TME, as a feature of the cpu but it doesn't tell
you if it is activated, and even if it is activated you will need to
be sure that you are storing your data in a region flagged with this
new attribute.

Here we discussed about it some time ago:
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2006.2/06753.html . That
comment is what triggered this patch.
