Thanks.  Will use.

Your code can also get rid of the additional 'p' local variable.  As you said it
is simpler.  I'll use your code.  Thanks!

It depends on how we treat 'tdx_keyid_start'.  If it means the first _usable_
KeyID for KVM, then we should increase it; but if it only used for the hardware-
enabled TDX KeyID range, then we don't need to increase it.

Currently it is marked as __ro_after_init so my intention is the latter (also in
the spirit of keeping this series minimal).

Eventually we will need to have functions to allocate/free TDX KeyIDs anyway for
KVM, but in that we can just treat 'tdx_keyid_start + 1' as the first usable
KeyID.
