It's been broken since it was added in

  6ebcb060713f ("x86/mm: Add support to encrypt the kernel in-place")

but the code has been restructured since then. I think it should be
backportable to 4.19.x if you want, except for that "duplication
definition"[sic] I removed, which was only added in v5.6. Do I need to
split that out into a separate patch?
