Start to transit out the "multi-steps" to construct a list of "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs) to cover all TDX-usable memory regions. The kernel configures TDX-usable memory regions by passing a list of TDMRs "TD Memory Regions" (TDMRs) to the TDX module. Each TDMR contains the information of the base/size of a memory region, the base/size of the associated Physical Address Metadata Table (PAMT) and a list of reserved areas in the region. Do the first step to fill out a number of TDMRs to cover all TDX memory regions. To keep it simple, always try to use one TDMR for each memory region. As the first step only set up the base/size for each TDMR. Each TDMR must be 1G aligned and the size must be in 1G granularity. This implies that one TDMR could cover multiple memory regions. If a memory region spans the 1GB boundary and the former part is already covered by the previous TDMR, just use a new TDMR for the remaining part. TDX only supports a limited number of TDMRs. Disable TDX if all TDMRs are consumed but there is more memory region to cover. There are fancier things that could be done like trying to merge adjacent TDMRs. This would allow more pathological memory layouts to be supported. But, current systems are not even close to exhausting the existing TDMR resources in practice. For now, keep it simple.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
