I didn't go to micro optimization just yet. I would like to see whole
stack functioning first.
It doesn't make sense to use cpu_feature_enabledX86_FEATURE_TME) as it
would produce false-positives: MKTME enumeration requires MSR read.
We may change mktme_nr_keyids check to a static key here. But this is not
urgent.
