I don't know how many times I have to say this but I'm going to keep
doing it until it sticks: :-)

Please, no "WHAT" in the commit messages - I can see the "WHAT - but
"WHY".

Ok?

Right, as said in another mail earlier, this could be written in C. And
then the sme_enable() piece below looks the same as this one above. So
since you want to run it before kernel decompression and after, you
could extract this code into a separate .c file which you can link in
both places, similar to what we do with verify_cpu with the difference
that verify_cpu is getting included.

Alternatively, we still have some room in setup_header.xloadflags to
pass boot info to kernel proper from before the decompression stage.

But I'd prefer linking with both stages as it is cheaper and those flags
we can use for something which really wants to use a flag like that.
