SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH 1/2] x86: Don't let pgprot_modify() change the page encryption bit
From
Date
Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the second batch of patches! These look much improved on all
fronts.

_PAGE_CHG_MASK is claiming similar functionality about preserving bits
when changing PTEs:

This makes me wonder if we should be including sme_me_mask in
_PAGE_CHG_MASK (logically).
