The RMM may not be tracking all the memory of the system at boot. Create
the necessary tracking state and GPTs within the RMM so that all boot
memory can be delegated to the RMM as needed during runtime.
Note: support is currently missing for SROs which means that if the RMM
needs memory donating this will fail (and render CCA unusable in Linux).

This will produce an error on systems where the start of system memory is not
aligned to RMM_GRANULE_TRACKING_SIZE. For instance, on QEMU-SBSA the system
memory starts at 0x100_4300_0000. With the above and RMM_GRANULE_TRACKING_SIZE
set to SZ_1G, @start becomes 0x100_4000_0000, which falls outside the memory map
known to the TF-A. I fixed it with these modifications:
Thanks for raising this. This would need to be addressed in the RMM
spec, I have raised it with the team and will be addressed soon.

This is likely not the right fix but hopefully provides some guidance. Send me
your patches when you have an idea and I'll test them.
We will send you the update once it is fixed in the RMM spec. The rough idea is to remove the ALIGNMENT restrictions and return a Range that
the host can iterate over to find "regions" with the same type of
memory.
