When System Memory Encryption (SME) is enabled, the physical address
space is reduced. Adjust the x86_phys_bits value to reflect this
reduction.

Lemme do some simplifying to save an indent level, get rid of local var
ebx and kill some { }-brackets for a bit better readability:

if (c->extended_cpuid_level >= 0x8000001f) {
u64 msr;

if (!cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_SME))
return;

/* Check if SME is enabled */

else
clear_cpu_cap(c, X86_FEATURE_SME);
}


Hmmm... and actually if cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SME) is true then it's a
given that extended_cpuid_level >= 0x8000001f. So this can be
simplified to just:

if (cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_SME)) {
... the rest of your suggestion (minus cpu_has()) ...
}

Thanks,
