Well, I'm not thrilled about this one either. It's like being between a
rock and a hard place. :-\
On the one hand, we need the encryption mask before we do the fixups and
OTOH we need to do the fixups in order to access the strings properly.
Yuck.
Well, the only thing I can think of right now is maybe define
"mem_encrypt=" at the end of head_64.S and pass it in from asm to
sme_enable() and then do the "on"/"off" comparsion with local char
buffers. That could make it less ugly...
