It is actually quite common with the contiguous RMP and a bit less with
the segmented RMP as the RMP segments tend to be aligned, but the RMP
segment table tends not to be.

We can ask BIOS to do this in the future, but we have a lot of existing
versions of BIOS out there that don't do this and require this support.

Thanks,
