No, just do what KVM already does for CONFIG_KVM_SMM=n, and return -ENOTTY.  The
*entire* point of have a return code is to handle setups that don't support SMM.

	if (!static_call(kvm_x86_has_emulated_msr)(vcpu->kvm, MSR_IA32_SMBASE)))
		return -ENOTTY;

And with that, I would drop the comment, it's pretty darn clear what "assumption"
is being made.  In quotes because it's not an assumption, it's literally KVM's
implementation.

And then the changelog can say "do what KVM does for CONFIG_KVM_SMM=n" without
having to explain why we decided to do something completely arbitrary for TDX.

Adding stubs for something that TDX will never support is silly.  Bug the VM and
return an error.

	if (KVM_BUG_ON(is_td_vcpu(vcpu)))
		return -EIO;

And I wouldn't even bother with vt_* wrappers, just put that right in vmx_*().
Same thing for everything below.
