I've tried the approach, but it doesn't fit here.

We enable MKTME relatively late during boot process -- after page_ext as
page_keyid() depends on it. Enabling it earlier would make page_keyid()
return garbage.

By the time page_ext initialized, CPU features is already handled and
setup_force_cpu_cap() doesn't do anything.

I've implemented the enabling with static key instead.
