I did this so that an the include order wouldn't cause issues (including
asm/mem_encrypt.h followed by later by a linux/mem_encrypt.h include).
I can make this a bit clearer by having separate #defines for each
thing, e.g.:

#ifndef sme_me_mask
#define sme_me_mask 0UL
#endif

#ifndef sme_active
#define sme_active sme_active
static inline ...
#endif

Is that better/clearer?

Thanks,
Tom
