Sorry for the delay.

They are different problems.

The first problem is that passes the e820 reserved ranges to the second kernel,
for this case, it is good enough to use the IORES_DESC_RESERVED, which can
ensure that exactly matches the reserved resource ranges when walking through
iomem resources.

The second problem is about the SEV case. Now, the IORES_DESC_RESERVED has been
created for the reserved areas, therefore the check needs to be expanded so that
these areas are not mapped encrypted when using ioremap().

+static int __ioremap_check_desc_none_and_reserved(struct resource *res)
 {
-       return (res->desc != IORES_DESC_NONE);
+       return ((res->desc != IORES_DESC_NONE) &&
+               (res->desc != IORES_DESC_RESERVED));
 }


Maybe i should split it into two patches. The change of __ioremap_check_desc_none_and_reserved()
should be a separate patch. Any idea?

Thanks.
