Or maybe the kernel would have to except some memory for MMIO from being encrypted. That way the PCIe bus gets access to the memory without needing the keys but also can't read what it shouldn't.
AIUI Intel TME sits in the memory controller, same for MKTME. Therefore memory protection as usual protects access, and any read/write requests made to the IMC will have it use the correct keys for en/decryption. The IMC doesn't care/tell where those requests came from.
