Sorry for jumping late.

Unless I'm missing something, hibernation will also cause an machine check
when there is TDX-protected memory in the system. When the hibernation
creates memory snapshot it essentially walks all physical pages and saves
their contents, so for TDX memory this will trigger machine check, right?
