Persistent memory is expected to persist across reboots. The encryption
key used by SME will change across reboots which will result in corrupted
persistent memory.  Persistent memory is handed out by block devices
through memory remapping functions, so be sure not to map this memory as
encrypted.

Can't you simply add:

	case E820_TYPE_PMEM:

here too and thus get rid of the region_intersects() thing above?

Because, for example, e820_type_to_iores_desc() maps E820_TYPE_PMEM to
IORES_DESC_PERSISTENT_MEMORY so those should be equivalent...

I'll have to double-check this, but I believe that when persistent
memory is identified through the NFIT table it adds it as a resource
but doesn't add it as an e820 entry so I can't rely on the type being
returned as E820_TYPE_PMEM by e820__get_entry_type().

Thanks,
Tom
