I think your bios is broken?
A working BIOS will look like this:
$ cat /proc/iomem | grep -i fed400
fed40000-fed44fff : pnp 00:00
It sets aside the struct resource during pnp:
[ 0.097318] pnp: PnP ACPI init
[ 0.097366] system 00:00: [mem 0xfed40000-0xfed44fff] has been reserved
What did your system do?
You should see prints like this:
printk(KERN_DEBUG
"e820: reserve RAM buffer [mem %#010llx-%#010llx]\n",
start, end);
Which only happen if E820_RAM is set, which is certainly not right for
TPM memory.
I don't know what kernel convention is to handle these sorts of
defects?
Is the use of the memmap kernel command line an appropriate work
around?
