Not sure if this question has been raised and answered in the past. Please
forgive my bad memory if it has. The one cpu is fine to kdump kernel most
of time, while we enable all CPUs by default when kexec rebooting. And kdump
kernel with multiple cpu is allowed too. Wondering if there's plan to
support the multiple cpu on TDX in the future.

Thanks
