Yes, that boots, but I will need to do more tests.

I have this patch, with that I can boot with your series unmodified,
but I will need to do more testing.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64/coco: Add pKVM as a CC platform

pKVM does support memory encryption, expose that to the rest of
the kernel through cc_platform_has()

At the moment, all devices inside the guest are emulated which
requires its memory to be shared back to the host (decrypted), so
set force_dma_unencrypted() to always return true.
