Right, as tglx rightfully points out here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/875ypyvz07.ffs@tglx

this piece of code needs careful coordinated design so that it is clean
for both SEV and TDX.

First, as we've said here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/1d77e91c-e151-7846-6cd4-6264236ca5ae@intel.com

we'd need generic functions which turn a pgprot into an encrypted or
decrypted pgprot on both SEV and TDX so we could do:

cc_pgprot_enc()
cc_pgprot_dec()

which does the required conversion on each guest type.

Also, I think adding required functions to x86_platform.guest. is a very
nice way to solve the ugly if (guest_type) querying all over the place.

Also, I was thinking of sme_me_mask and the corresponding
tdx_shared_mask I threw into the mix here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/YgFIaJ8ijgQQ04Nv@zn.tnic

and we should simply add those without ifdeffery but unconditionally.

Simply have them always present. They will have !0 values on the
respective guest types and 0 otherwise. This should simplify a lot of
code and another unconditionally present u64 won't be the end of the
world.

Any other aspect I'm missing?
