Not sure I follow. If MSR_K8_SYSCFG_MEM_ENCRYPT is set then there will
always be a reduction in physical addressing (so I'm told). And if
MSR_K8_SYSCFG_MEM_ENCRYPT isn't set and x86_phys_bits == 52, then
everything should be fine with the existing kvm_set_mmio_spte_mask()
function where bit 51 is set but the present bit isn't, correct?

Thanks,
Tom
