Thanks for the tip.  How about below?

                              u64 size, u16 max_reserved_per_tdmr)

        int idx = *p_idx;

        /* Reserved area must be 4K aligned in offset and size */
        if (WARN_ON(addr & ~PAGE_MASK || size & ~PAGE_MASK))
                return -EINVAL;

        /*
         * The TDX module supports only limited number of TDMRs and
         * limited number of reserved areas for each TDMR.  There's a
         * balance to be had between TDMRs and reserved areas.  A system
         * that is running out of reserved areas in a TDMR could split a
