Sorry for the delay...
The original intent of the check was to map most memory as encrypted under
SEV if it was marked with a specific descriptor, since it was likely to
not be MMIO. I tried converting most things that mapped memory to memremap
vs ioremap, but ACPI was one area that I left alone and this check catches
the mapping of the ACPI tables. I suppose it's possible to change this to
check just for IORES_DESC_ACPI_* values, but I would have to do some
testing.
Thanks,
