sev_active() might be just bad (too specific) name for a general
concept. s390 code defines it drives the right behavior in
kernel/dma/direct.c (which uses it).

Does not seem to apply to today's or yesterdays master.

This is the implementation for the guys that don't
have ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT.

Means sev_active() may not be used in such code after this
patch. What about 

static inline bool force_dma_unencrypted(void)
{
        return sev_active();
}

in kernel/dma/direct.c?
