So instead of sprinkling that @encrypted argument everywhere and then
setting it based on sme_active() ...

... why can't you simply do your checks:

sme_active() && is_kdump_kernel()

here so that __ioremap_caller() can automatically choose the proper
pgprot value when ioremapping the memory in the kdump kernel?

And this way the callers don't even have to care whether the memory is
encrypted or not?
