IMO it's better if we add a "return hv_status;" for the SNP case, and don't move
the assembly code for the regular VM. I made a patch:
https://github.com/dcui/tdx/commit/f81013578605aa02939a3186afa9fc76791b3acd

You may want to explain briefly why the earlier approach 
	ALTERNATIVE(CALL_NOSPEC, "vmmcall", X86_FEATURE_SEV_ES)
doesn't work:

start_kernel() calls hyperv_init() before alternative_instructions(), and hyperv_init() 
already uses hypercalls, e.g. the newly-added get_vtl() in your patch 2.

start_kernel:
  late_time_init
    x86_late_time_init
      x86_init.irqs.intr_mode_init
        apic_intr_mode_init
          x86_platform.apic_post_init
            hyperv_init ==> it already uses hypercalls, e.g. the newly-added get_vtl() in your patch 2.

  arch_cpu_finalize_init()
    alternative_instructions()

We can move the get_vtl hypercall to a later place, but there are also
other hypercalls before alternative_instructions(). IMO it may be unsafe
to run ALTERNATIVE code before  alternative_instructions() is called.
