This register is used to setup the limit address of DMA protected high-memory region.
This register must be setup before enabling protected memory through PMEN_REG,
and must not be updated when protected memory regions are enabled.
When LT.CMD.LOCK.PMRC command is invoked, this register is locked (treated as RO).
When LT.CMD.UNLOCK.PMRC command is invoked, this register is unlocked (treated as
R/W).
This register is always treated as RO for implementations not supporting protected high
memory region (PHMR field reported as 0 in the Capability register). The alignment of
the protected high memory region limit depends on the number of reserved bits (N) of
this register. Software may determine the value of N by writing all 1s to this register,
and finding most significant zero bit position below host address width (HAW) in the
value read back from the register. Bits N:0 of the limit register is decoded by hardware
as all 1s.
The protected high-memory base & limit registers functions as follows:
• Programming the protected low-memory base and limit registers with the same
value in bits HAW:(N+1) specifies a protected low-memory region of size 2(N+1)
bytes.
• Programming the protected high-memory limit register with a value less than the
protected high-memory base register disables the protected high-memory region.

Protected High-Memory Limit (PHML_R):
Protected High-Memory Limit (PHML): This register
specifies the last host physical address of the DMA
protected high-memory region in system memory.
Hardware may ignore and not implement bits 63:HAW,
where HAW is the host address width.
