Right.  But here's my point:  With current code and an image built with
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y and running as a TDX guest,
sme_postprocess_startup() will not decrypt the bss_decrypted section.
Then later mem_encrypt_free_decrypted_mem() will run, see that
CC_ATTR_MEM_ENCRYPT is true, and try to re-encrypt the memory.
In other words, a TDX guest would break in the same way as a Hyper-V
vTOM guest would break.  This patch fixes the problem for both cases.

The only things I see in the bss_decrypted section are two clock structures
In arch/x86/kernel/kvmclock.c, which aren't needed when Hyper-V is the
hypervisor.  But with a TDX guest on KVM, will *not* decrypting the
bss_decrypted section be a problem?  I don't know that kvmclock
code or why the two clock structures need to be decrypted for
AMD mem encryption.
