The EFI stub builds the unaccepted memory bitmap before the kernel parses
its command line. Option memmap=<size>$<addr> removes RAM from the E820 map
while its bits are still set in the bitmap.
The removed range, such as a memmap=...$... hole, is then still treated as
unaccepted RAM and accept_memory() tries to accept it. The hole is not
mapped, so on SEV-SNP the PVALIDATE faults and the guest crashes early in
the boot:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff8a14bfe00000
RIP: 0010:pvalidate_pages+0xc0/0x250
set_pages_state+0x41a/0x440
snp_accept_memory+0x3e/0x50
accept_memory+0x186/0x260
__free_pages_core+0xd2/0x240
memblock_free_pages+0x1b/0x30
memblock_free_all+0x275/0x2d0
This was seen with memmap=2M$0x1ffe00000, a 2 MiB hole in RAM, on a 19 GiB
SNP guest with lazy acceptance.
Accept only whole pages of E820 RAM, and clear the bitmap bits only for the
units in which memory was accepted.

v1 -> v2:
- Clear the bitmap bits only for the accepted memory
- Round E820 RAM range to page boundaries
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261102113127.161823-1-pankaj.gupta@amd.com/
