There's that "crypto protection" thing again.  I'm not really a fan of
the changes made to this changelog since I wrote it. :)

Where, exactly is that alignment provided?  A 'struct tdmr_info *' is 8
bytes so a tdx_sysinfo.max_tdmrs=8 kcalloc() would only guarantee
64-byte alignment.

Also, I'm surprised that this is an array of virtual address pointers.
The previous interactions with the TDX module seemed to all take
physical addresses.  How is it that this hardware structure which has
hardware alignment constraints is holding virtual addresses?

There's the -EFAULT again.  I'd replace these with a better error code.
