Why not:

	if (!sme_active())

?

That's obvious - it is a small-enough function to fit on the screen. No
need for the comment.

Use addr here so that you don't have to deref. gcc is probably smart
enough but the code should look more readable this way too.

I know, you must use cpa.vaddr here but if you move that alignment check
over the cpa assignment, you can use addr solely.

I guess we don't really need the distinction since a SME CPU most
definitely implies CLFLUSH support but ok, let's be careful.
