I'm reluctant to say that just unilaterally marking these regions as available is a good thing, but it's clearly what's expected by AMD's implementation. One approach would be to have a callback into the nvs code to indicate that a certain region should be handed off to a driver, which would ensure that we can handle this on a case by case basis?
