kernpg_flag above is initialized to _KERNPG_TABLE_NOENC so you can do here

info.kernpg_flag |= _PAGE_ENC;

too, to make it even more clear what this does, right?

IOW:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/machine_kexec_64.c b/arch/x86/kernel/machine_kexec_64.c

if (sev_active()) {
- info.page_flag |= _PAGE_ENC;
- info.kernpg_flag = _KERNPG_TABLE;
+ info.page_flag |= _PAGE_ENC;
+ info.kernpg_flag |= _PAGE_ENC;
}

if (direct_gbpages)
