This does not make sense to me. What the heck has phys_to_virt() to do with
the encryption bit. Especially why would the encryption bit be set on that
mapping in the first place?

I'm probably missing something, but this want's some coherent explanation
understandable by mere mortals both in the changelog and the code comment.
