Ok, I will update the changes to so we preserve the previous behaviour
for SME?
if (attrs & DMA_ATTR_MMIO) {
/*
* For host memory encryption treat MMIO memory as shared
*/
if (cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_HOST_MEM_ENCRYPT))
attrs |= DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED;
}
Do let me know if you feel strongly that the above change should not be
included and that the SME P2P case should instead be handled in a future
patch.

If you think the rest of the series is ready for upstream, could you
please ack it so it can be picked up for the next merge window? I'll
repost v8, rebased on top of the pKVM topic branch.
