Yeah. This illegal access isn't allowed but its enough to ignore that 
without further protection or punishment.
Or what procedure should be concerned here based on your opinion?

In our case, we always initialize these RMRR ranges with p2m_access_n to 
make sure we can intercept any illegal access to these range until we 
can reset them with p2m_access_rw via set_identity_p2m_entry(d, 
base_pfn, p2m_access_rw).
