This change break boot for me (in KVM on Intel host). It only reproduces
with allyesconfig. More reasonable config works fine, but I didn't try to
find exact cause in config.

Convertion to cc_platform_has() in __startup_64() in 8/8 has the same
effect.

I believe it caused by sme_me_mask access from __startup_64() without
fixup_pointer() magic. I think __startup_64() requires special treatement
and we should avoid cc_platform_has() there (or have a special version of
the helper). Note that only AMD requires these cc_platform_has() to return
true.
