secret and cpuid are in memfd which in turn is part of the firmware
image mapping which is reserved in the e820 map:
kraxel@rhel8 ~# dmesg | grep -i e820
[ ... some lines snipped ... ]
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000007ff7c000-0x000000007fffffff] reserved
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000b0000000-0x00000000bfffffff] reserved
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000ffc00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved <= here
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000027fffffff] usable
I think they should be covered already ...
take care,
Gerd
