Hi Andra,

Sorry for the long delay.

I've read all your suggestions in each patch, there's no objection. I'll
send v4 later, please review when you free, thanks.

Thank you, no problem. I'll review the patch series till the end of this week.

Andra

There can be cases when there are more memory regions that need to be
set for an enclave than the maximum supported number of memory regions
per enclave. One example can be when the memory regions are backed by 2
MiB hugepages (the minimum supported hugepage size).

Let's merge the adjacent regions if they are physical contiguous. This

physical contiguous => physically contiguous

way the final number of memory regions is less than before merging and
could potentially avoid reaching maximum.

Changes v2 -> v3:
- update the commit title and commit message. [Andra]
- use 'struct range' to instead of 'struct phys_mem_region'. [Andra, Greg
KH]
- add comments before the function definition. [Andra]
- rename several variables, parameters and function. [Andra]

Should use "struct range *regions" instead, to keep a similar style with
regard to arrays throughout the code.

Please align the fields name (e.g. [1]) so that it's easier to
distinguish between fields type and name.

Let's also prefix with "ne" the data structure naming e.g.
ne_phys_contig_mem_regions. So that is similar to other data structures
defined in the NE kernel driver codebase.
