Let's say we have 4 MKTME hardware bits, we'd have:

   0: TME Key
1->3: MKTME Keys
4->7: TDX Private Keys

First, the MSR values:

> +        *   Bit [63:32]:       Number of TDX private KeyIDs.

These would be:

	Bit [ 31:0] = 3
	Bit [63:22] = 4

And in the end the variables:

	tdx_keyid_start would be 4 and tdx_keyid_num would be 4.

Right?

That's a bit wonky for my brain because I guess I know too much about
the internal implementation and how the key space is split up.  I guess
I (wrongly) expected Bit[31:0]==Bit[63:22].

I honestly have no idea what "boot-time TDX initialization" is versus
"runtime TDX module initialization".  This doesn't hel.

Let's see...

tdx_keyid_start is uniniitalized here.  So, it'd be 0, then ++'d.

Kai, please take a moment and slow down.  This isn't a race.  I offered
some replacement code here, which you've discarded, missed or ignored
and in the process broken this code.

This approach just wastes reviewer time.  It's not working for me.

I'm going to make a suggestion (aka. a demand): You can post these
patches at most once a week.  You get a whole week to (carefully)
incorporate reviewer feedback, make the patch better, and post a new
version.  Need more time?  Go ahead and take it.  Take as much time as
you want.
