Hi Dov/Ard Please allow me to clarify: EfiACPIReclaimMemory in UEFI spec means: OS may use the memory, after it copies the ACPI table to its own location. It is also called "AddressRangeACPI" in ACPI spec.
[2] https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/15_System_Address_Map_Interfaces.html, search AddressRangeACPI. [3] https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.10/07_Services_Boot_Services.html, search EfiACPIReclaimMemory. However, in the description, you mentioned "The SEV-SNP Confidential Computing blob contains metadata that should remain accessible for the life of the guest." That requirement conflicts with the definition of ACPIReclaim memory. I would like to suggest either of below, to meet the need "that should remain accessible for the life of the guest." a) EfiACPIMemoryNVS in UEFI, also known as AddressRangeNVS in ACPI (or) b) EfiReservedMemoryType in UEFI, also knowns as AddressRangeReserved in ACPI. Please double confirm that.
