I actually think TDX code, in general, spends way too much time quoting
and referring to the spec.

Also, why quote the version?  Do we quote the SDM version when we add
new SDM-defined architecture?

It's just busywork that bloats the kernel and adds noise.  Please focus
on adding value to the comments that came from your brain and not just
pasting boilerplate gunk over and over.
