Thanks for the patches ! The hooks for set_memory_*crypted() and the
ioremap_prot() looks fitting for the CCA support. We will cherry pick
those and base our next version on it. On a side note, this doesn't
solve the "fixmap" for earlycon. Hopefully, we can push something
based on this in the coming weeks.

Kind regards
Suzuki
