early_set_memory_decrypted() assumes its parameters are page aligned.
Non-page aligned calls result in additional pages being marked as
decrypted via the encryption status hypercall, which results in
consistent corruption of pages during live migration. Live
migration requires accurate encryption status information to avoid
migrating pages from the wrong perspective.

Hmmm... I'm not sure this is the proper fix. The code is actually doing the right thing from a encyrption/decryption point of view by checking the c-bit for the PTE associated with the virtual address and the size (possibly crossing page boundaries).

I think the problem is on the call to early_set_mem_enc_dec_hypercall() where it doesn't take into account the possible crossing of page boundaries and so can under-count the number of pages, right?

Thanks,
Tom
