Hi Rob,

Possibly, but the thing I'm a bit worried about is the way 'no-map'
regions are removed from memblocks early on.

The EL2 object needs to know about these parts of memory too (and in
fact we may be able to enforce the 'no-map' attribute at the host stage
2 level as well). It's also possible we'll need to have portions of the
guests payload preloaded (and verified) by the bootloader into reserved
memory regions, possibly no-map, to make sure the host does not mess
with them in a normal use-case. So, I couldn't find a much better place
than this one but suggestions are very much welcome.

I'll have a go at the memblock stuff to see if I find a way to make it
work from that angle.

Ack, the ugly truth is that this is likely to remain arm64-specific. I
figured this was simple enough that we might want to consider it,
though.

Thanks,
Quentin
