Considering for AMD/SME system an unencrypted dma addr is one without C
bit, will this be good?

	/*
	 * For host memory encryption and device requiring unencrypted DMA,
	 * MMIO memory is treated as shared by default.
	 */
	if (attrs & DMA_ATTR_MMIO) {
		if (cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_HOST_MEM_ENCRYPT) || force_dma_unencrypted(dev))
			attrs |= DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED;
	}
