For TME you still need to compare it against the EFI memory map as
there are exclusion ranges for things like persistent memory. Given
that persistent memory can be forced into volatile "System RAM"
operation by various command line options and driver overrides, you
need to at least trim the assumptions of what is encrypted to the
default "conventional memory" conveyed by platform firmware / BIOS.
