Yes, I was worried a bit more about how general that was going to be
or whether we're collecting a lot of architecture specific fields here.
So I wondered, if it was an enum, whether that would be come:

memory encryption: none

memory encryption: SEV

memory encryption: SEV-ES

(I'm not too sure whether that's better or not, just a suggestion)
