Its also good to have a general safeguard to not accept memory that is not marked as RAM in e820?Can we just disallow memmap= when running in a confidential VM?
My experiments showed: memmap itself don't have a problem but memap with a hole is causing crash.
There might be some usecases which are already using this, e.g:
