So test code would need to consider cases where addr_gpa2raw() needs to be used to set the C-bit (which is basically only when they want to mix usage of the vm_phy_page[s]_alloc with their own mapping of the guest page tables, which doesn't seem to be done in any existing tests anyway).
Yes, and it seems like a more rare case in general.
The library code would need these addr_gpa2raw() hooks in places where it calls virt_*map() internally. Probably just a handful of places though.
Either that, or you can have virt_*map that consults the encryption bitmap, and virt_*map_enc (or _raw, doesn't matter) that takes the encryption state explicitly as a bool.
Even in this alternative approach though, having addr_gpa2hva() silently mask away C-bit still seems useful for the reasons above, but again, no strong feelings one way or the other on that.
Ok, keep it the way you find more useful. Paolo
