Yeah looks good! I am testing with the macro diff for tr_lock from 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/05e27a7a-1faa-944e-2764-6ab4d620fb8f@bytedance.com/. 
If it all works, happy for me to send out v12 with it?

I guess the easiest way is to create a TDX VM on Sapphire Rapids which I 
believe mostly Intel people have access to right now? Maybe we can post 
v12 and someone from Intel could just quickly verify if it boots with 
it? I have added Yuan from the other thread in here who pointed it out 
initially.
