No, my thought was simply to require platforms that support GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT to
implement x86_platform.hyper.is_private_mmio, e.g. to avoid having to check if
is_private_mmio is NULL, to explicit document that non-Hyper-V encrypted guests
don't (yet) support private MMIO, and to add a bit of documentation around the
{de,en}crypted logic.

Right, but since is_private_mmio can be NULL, unless I'm missing something we'll
need an extra check no matter what, i.e. the alternative would be

	if (x86_platform.hyper.is_private_mmio &&
	    x86_platform.hyper.is_private_mmio(phys))
		flags = pgprot_encrypted(flags);
	else
		flags = pgprot_decrypted(flags);

I have no objection to that approach.  It does have the advantage of not needing
an indirect call for encrypted guests that don't support private MMIO, though
I can't imagine this code is performance sensitive.
