vmbus_establish_gpadl() is the the same wrong abstraction as the arch
code. Get rid of it and use vmbus_establish_gpadl_caller_decrypted():

		pdata->recv_buf = vzalloc(RECV_BUFFER_SIZE);
		if (!pdata->recv_buf) {
			ret = -ENOMEM;
			goto fail_free_ring;
		}

		ret = vmbus_establish_gpadl(channel, pdata->recv_buf,
					    RECV_BUFFER_SIZE, &pdata->recv_gpadl);


So you made an allocator that returns folios, now you just need to
use that allocator to implement a kvzalloc wrapper. ARM can call vmap
on decrypted memory with pgprot_decrypted(), right?

Or maybe this can use vmbus_alloc_buffer(), it already does it.
