Yes, "Instead of" should be "Addtionally,".

Yes, there is a fix to satify your requirement and get the bouns points :)

Please refer to 
https://github.com/intel/tdx/commit/f045b0d52a5f7d8bf66cd4410307d05a90523f10 


case EXIT_REASON_EPT_VIOLATION:
+ if (!(ve->gpa & tdx_shared_mask())) {
+ panic("#VE due to access to unaccepted memory. "
+ "GPA: %#llx\n", ve->gpa);
+ }
+
/* original from Kirill and Kuppuswamy */

It's already there, but it just didn't get into the main branch.


Sincerely,
