Re: [RFC PATCH V3 08/11] swiotlb: Add bounce buffer remap address setting function

[Tianyu Lan <ltykernel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christoph and Robin:
     I introduced new interface set_memory_decrypted_map() to hide all
the hypervisor code behind it in the latest version. In current generic
code, only swiotlb bounce buffer needs to be decrypted and remapped in 
the same time and so keep set_memory_decrypted(). If there were more 
requests of set_memory_decrypted_map() for other platform, we may
replace set_memory_decrypted() step by step. Please have a look.

Thanks.
