Well, that patch has host-side stuff too.

If we have to be pedantic, this should be in

arch/x86/virt/shared/vmx/tdx

or so but that's bikeshedding gone out of control to me.

And it isn't generic, as pointed out earlier, so arch/x86/virt/ does not
fit either.

So I'd think of something with "tdx" in the pathname and
arch/x86/virt/vmx/tdx/ is kinda the only one we agreed upon as a path...

Thx.
