There's issue with declaring cc_pgprot_encrypted()/cc_pgprot_decrypted()
in cc_platform.h. It requires pgprot_t to be defined and attempt to
include relevant header leads to circular dependencies.

Moreover, pgprot_t defined in different headers, depending on an
architecture.

I'm not sure how to unwind this dependency hell. Any clues?
