So userspace is expected to stop creating TD and quit on this?

If so, it exposes an DOS attack surface that malicious users in another 
can drain the entropy with busy-loop on RDSEED.

Can you clarify why it's hard to allow userspace to retry? To me, it's 
OK to retry that "teardown" cleans everything up, and userspace and 
issue the KVM_TDX_INIT_VM again.
