We actually fixed the TDX module. See 11.9.5. Pending Virtual Interrupt
Delivery Indication in TDX module 1.5 spec [1]

  The host VMM can detect whether a virtual interrupt is pending delivery to a
  VCPU in the Virtual APIC page, using TDH.VP.RD to read the VCPU_STATE_DETAILS
  TDVPS field.
  
  The typical use case is when the guest TD VCPU indicates to the host VMM, using
  TDG.VP.VMCALL, that it has no work to do and can be halted. The guest TD is
  expected to pass an “interrupt blocked” flag. The guest TD is expected to set
  this flag to 0 if and only if RFLAGS.IF is 1 or the TDCALL instruction that
  invokes TDG.VP.VMCALL immediately follows an STI instruction. If the “interrupt
  blocked” flag is 0, the host VMM can determine whether to re-schedule the guest
  TD VCPU based on VCPU_STATE_DETAILS.

Isaku, this patch didn't read VCPU_STATE_DETAILS. Maybe you missed something
during rebase? Regarding buggy_hlt_workaround, do you aim to avoid reading
VCPU_STATE_DETAILS as much as possible (because reading it via SEAMCALL is
costly, ~3-4K cycles)? if so, please make it clear in the changelog/comment.
