This is looking quite a bit nicer than the last post.  One nit on the
changelogs: please make an effort to connect the patches.  If you
introduce a function here but don't use it, tell us where it _will_ be used.

As it stands, this series _looks_ like it is touching 3 disjoint things:
 * pg_data_t
 * e820
 * memblocks

It would be valuable to spend a few sentences to connect the dots.

Subsystem prefixes are also highly preferred.  Perhaps:

	mm: Extend memblock to support memory encryption

or

	mm/memblock: Tag memblocks with crypto capabilities

It also helps make it obvious that this series touches both core mm/ and
arch/x86/ code.
