Sorry, this also got a bit lost during the s/VMware/Broadcom/
transition. It seems to be pretty safe in general now. I wasn't able
to find a really clean way of adding a warn_once when pte's don't
match as suggested by Thomas, but I did add a quick log to at least
point out in the logs that we've enabled memory decryption in tt.
