This could also explain why persistent memory needs to be accessed decrypted with SEV. In general, what the difference in that aspect is in respect to SME. And I'd write that in the comment over the function. And not say "E820 areas are checked in making this determination." because that is visible but say *why* we need to check those ranges and determine access depending on their type. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
