Related in so far as that it reduces the number of sites where we have
the actual CR3 'computation' (which is how I arrived at the thing).

Arguably we could even do something like:

static inline unsigned long build_cr3(pgd_t *pgd, u16 asid, unsigned long lam)
{
	unsigned long cr3 = __sme_pa(pgd) | lam;

	if (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PCID)) {
		VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(asid > MAX_ASID_AVAILABLE);
		cr |= kern_pcid(asid);
	} else {
		VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(asid != 0);
	}

	return cr3;
}

But perhaps that's pushing things a little.

IMO fine to fold.
