Sorry why "private-shared conversion is done via KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG" results
in "we can ignore the requres from restrictedmem"?

If we punch a hole, the pages are de-allocated, correct?

Page migration is not the only reason that KVM will receive the MMU notifer --
just say something like "for now all private pages are pinned during VM's life 
time".

A comment would be nice here.

Is it PAT or MTRR, or both (thus just memory type)?

Then why bother zapping private?  If I read correctly, the changelog says "don't
zap private"?

Btw, as you mentioned in the changelog, private memory always has WB memory
type, thus cannot be virtualized.  Is it better to modify update_mtrr() to just
return early if the gfn range is purely private?

IMHO the handling of MTRR/PAT virtualization for TDX guest deserves dedicated
patch(es) to put them together so it's easier to review.  Now the relevant parts
spread in multiple independent patches (MSR handling, vt_get_mt_mask(), etc).
