Will try to make one function with better naming.

I just noticed Nicholas Piggin's huge vmalloc mapping patches that were
merged in April 2021. I'll take a look and see what I can use here.

It looks like typically set_memory_{de/en}crypted() are not invoked
frequently when Linux is running, e.g. the swiotlb bounce buffers are
only initialzed once with set_memory_decrypt(). A driver runs in a guest
on a hypervisor typically also only initializes the buffers (which need to
be shared with the hypervisor) with set_memory_decrypt() once when
the driver initializes the device. So, it looks like slow_virt_to_phys() may be
acceptable for configuous memory pages as well.

Ok. Looking into this using slow_virt_to_phys() for direct map
addresses as well.
