The hypervisor needs to access the contents of the page holding the TCE
entries while setting up the TCE entries in the IOMMU's TCE table.
For SecureVMs, since this page is encrypted, the hypervisor cannot
access valid entries. Share the page with the hypervisor. This ensures
that the hypervisor sees those valid entries.
Why is this safe?
The page contains only TCE entries; not any sensitive data
belonging to the Secure VM. The hypervisor has a genuine need to know
the value of the TCE entries, without which it will not be able to
DMA to/from the pages pointed to by the TCE entries. In a Secure
VM the TCE entries point to pages that are also shared with the
hypervisor; example: pages containing bounce buffers.
