Probably not.  For anything in this series that gets within spitting distance of
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM_TESTING, my recommendation is to make a mental note
but otherwise ignore things like this for now.  I suspect it will be much, much
more efficient to sort all of this out when I smush UPM+SNP+TDX together in a few
weeks.
