I'm not clear why the heap depends on !CONFIG_HIGHMEM, but I also don't know anything about SEV/TDX.

It is because the CC apis, set_memory_decrypted()/etc are slightly mis-designed. They take in a vaddr to represent the address instead of a phys_addr_t or a page *

This means the user has to use page_address() and then the whole thing is incompatible with highmem.

Which is fine, highmem and CC are never turned on together.
