I thought making tdmr_get_pamt() return pamt_pfn and pamt_npages would be more
clear that PAMTs must be in 4K granularity, but I guess it doesn't matter
anyway.

If we return bytes for PAMT size, I think we should also return physical address
instead of PFN for PAMT start?

I'll change tdmr_get_pamt() to return physical address and bytes for PAMT
location and size respectively.  Please let me know if you have any comments.

Will do.

Thanks for the feedback.
