Sorry for the confusion. This patch is not related to real mode. This change is
similar to 88e378d400fa0544d51cf62037e7774d8a4b4379. Current code maps MMIO
devices as shared (decrypted) by default in a confidential computing VM. But the
wakeup mailbox must be accessed as private (encrypted) because all the access to
it are encrypted.

It's my fault to leave the realmode_reserve/realmode_init change here and cause
this confusion. Originally this patch and the real mode patch were included in
one patch. When I splitted them, I wrongly left this change here. Will put it to
the realmode patch on my next submission.

Will address all your other comments on my next submission.

Thank you
