Ok, but your !4K case:
+ /*
+ * virtual address is part of large page, create the page
+ * table mapping to use smaller pages (4K). The virtual and
+ * physical address must be aligned to PMD level.
+ */
+ kernel_physical_mapping_init(__pa(vaddr & PMD_MASK),
+ __pa((vaddr_end & PMD_MASK) +
PMD_SIZE),
+ 0);
would map a 2M page as encrypted by default. What if we want to map a 2M page
frame as ~_PAGE_ENC?
IOW, if you're adding a new interface, it should be generic enough, like
with prot argument.
