Yes. And the private root allocation can be pushed down into TDP MMU.

Yes, this part should be dropped.  Because we will have vCPUID.MTRR=0 for TDX in
long term, we can make kvm_mmu_honors_guest_mtrrs() always false.  Maybe
kvm->arch.disbled_mtrr or guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_MTRR) = false.  We
will enforce vcpu.CPUID.MTRR=false.

Guest MTRR=0 support can be independently addressed.

This should be cleaned up.  It can be pushed down into kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root().

void kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
  allocate shared root
  if (has_mirrort_pt)
    allocate private root

We are going to flags like has_mirrored_pt and we have root page table iterator
with types specified.  I'll investigate how we can reduce (or eliminate)
those helper functions.

Totally agree that it deserves for documentation.  I would update the design
document of TDX TDP MMU to include it.  This patch series doesn't include it,
though.

Which name do you prefer? has_mirrored_pt or has_mirrored_private_pt?
