Yes. But, Joerg Roedel in his review recommended using variable
similar to sme_me_mask to avoid function call in Intel platform in
cc_platform_has().

"
This causes a function call on every Intel machine this code runs. is
there an easier to check whether TDX is enabled, like the sme_me_mask
check on AMD?
"

That's why I have introduced is_tdx_guest global variable in this
version.
