That's a bit sparse for what this is doing.  It covers the first hunk at
best.

Looking at this in isolation, this is really tricky.  I have no idea
what this is _supposed_ to or expected to be doing.  It also makes me
wonder what happens when start/size don't line up exactly on an e820 entry.

Am I missing something or should this just be:

	if (e820_table->entries[i].crypto_capable)
		pr_cont("; crypto-capable");

In general, I find code that retreats to the ternary form is almost
always doing something nasty.

No comment, eh?

This seems backwards to me.  If there are overlapping region and only
one is crypto-capable, shouldn't the whole thing become non-crypto-capable?

The "current_crypto != last_crypto" checks seem to go with the
current_type/last_type checks.  I'm naively surprised that the
last_crypto assignment wasn't paired with the last_type assignment.

I kinda get the impression this was just quickly hacked in here.  It
seems like "crypto" and "type" are very closely related in how they are
being handled.  It's a shame they're not being managed in a common way.

Having a different memblock_add_foo() doesn't seem to be the way this is
done.  See:

	memblock_mark_hotplug();
or
	memblock_mark_mirror();

Shouldn't this be: memblock_mark_crypto()

By the way, how was this tested?
