My eyes glazed over about halfway through that.  Can you try to trim it
down a bit, or at least try to summarize it better up front?

There's a real art to making a right-size comment.  I don't think this
needs to be any more than:

	/*
	 * Not all memory is compatible with TDX.  Reject
	 * the addition of any incomatible memory.
	 */

If you want to write a treatise, do it in Documentation or at the
tdx_cc_memory_compatible() definition.

Why does the nid matter?

What if the pfn range overlaps two CMRs?  It will never pass any
individual overlap test and will return false.

This is named a bit too generically.  How about free_tdx_memlist() or
something?

Again, this explains the "what", but not the "why".

/*
 * Ensure that all memblock memory regions are convertible to TDX
 * memory.  Once this has been established, stash the memblock
 * ranges off in a secondary structure because $REASONS.
 */

Which makes me wonder: Why do you even need a secondary structure here?
What's wrong with the memblocks themselves?

I don't like the "may not" here very much.

This way too wishy washy.  The TDX module may or may not...  Then, it
doesn't matter since reserve_real_mode() does it anyway...

Then it goes and adds code to skip it!

Please just put a dang stake in the ground.  If the other code deals
with this, then explain *why* more is needed here.

... no 'goto err'?  This leaks all the previous add_tdx_memblock()

Same bug.  What if the start/end_pfn range is covered by more than one
