Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 11/18] x86: Decrypt trampoline area if memory
 encryption is active

When Secure Memory Encryption is enabled, the trampoline area must not
be encrypted. A cpu running in real mode will not be able to decrypt
memory that has been encrypted because it will not be able to use addresses
with the memory encryption mask.
