An encrypted guest must first convert that storage to shared memory, but the existing setup publishes the address without conversion. Patch 1 makes the decrypted per-CPU section available with CONFIG_X86_MEM_ENCRYPT, including TDX-only configurations. Patch 2 defers encrypted-guest setup until allocator-backed page-table splitting is available, converts every possible CPU's storage before publishing any GPA, and attempts to roll back all conversions on failure. TDX's conversion callback uses __pa(), so patch 2 preflights every possible CPU and leaves steal time disabled if a TDX guest uses vmalloc-backed per-CPU storage. This covers percpu_alloc=page and automatic allocator fallback. AMD encrypted guests support those mappings and are not rejected. Supporting them in TDX would require a separate conversion-API change. Conversion need not preserve zeroes, and the host initializes only the 8-byte counter. Patch 2 therefore clears each 64-byte object after conversion and before registration, without disturbing other decrypted objects that can share its page. The intended merge path is tip's x86/vmware branch, following commit ac26963a1175 ("percpu: Introduce DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED"). Per-CPU and asm-generic maintainer Acks are requested for patch 1.
