This was added because the set_memory_decrypted() call is now called
from kernel/kexec_core.c. And since all the set_memory() functions
are defined in an arch include I had to swizzle things around. I think
I should probably do something similar to the SWIOTLB support and have
a __weak function to alter the memory area attributes.

No, because we could be going from SME not active and rebooting using
kexec to a state where SME is active. This is where the cache line
issue can arise.

Yes, when the CPU comes back online the cache is re-enabled.

I'll take a closer look at the sysfs support to see how moving a cpu
to/from online is affected.

Yes, kexec can be invoked through a reboot command.

I'll take a closer look at the kexec path to see what can be done. I
might be able to do something with determining if SME is configured
in the kernel and what the default SME state is combined with checking
the command line of the kernel being kexeced.

Ok.

I'll look at making it cleaner. It would be simple if all the
set_memory() functions weren't arch specific. The earlier response about
making it an arch callback function might be best.

Since the memory attribute was changed, a page with all zeroes in memory
when it was an encrypted page would now read as random data (since the
data on the page won't be decrypted). So after setting the attribute
the memset just clears it to zero. I guess I can to the memset only if
__GFP_ZERO is present inf gfp_mask.
