I'd much rather revert the above commit. Yes, x86 has exported these
since 2017, but that's a really bad idea, and we should fix it instead
of spreading the export.
Setting memory decrypted is a dangerous operations and should only
be available to core code. We should have various allocators for
decrypted code, but not export the functionality to random code.
