[PATCH 0/2] vhost-vdpa: skip TPM CRB memory section

[Laurent Vivier]

An error is reported for vhost-vdpa case:
qemu-kvm: vhost_vdpa_listener_region_add received unaligned region

Marc-André has proposed a fix to this problem by skipping
the memory region owned by the TPM CRB but it seems more generic
to skip not DMA-able memory.

We have a memory flag for that, RAM_PROTECTED.

This series expands the memory API to provide a way to initialize
a "protected" memory region and use it with the TPM CRB object.
