Right, this should work. But it does leave me wondering, should we
perhaps strive to completely remove the flags thing and move to
__tdx_hypercall() and __tdx_hypercall_ret() or something? That is,
simply have two different functions, one with and one without return
data.

It should be trivial to generate that without actual code duplication.
