If I do that, then I could put an #ifdef in the header to include the
asm/mem_encrypt.h if the memory encryption is configured, else set the
value to zero.  I'll look into this.  One immediate question becomes do
we keep the name very specific vs. making it more generic, sme_me_mask
vs me_mask, etc.

Thanks,
Tom
