Thanks for the info.

For TDX, it wants to restrict the size of memory range for conversion in 
one hypercall to avoid a too long latency.
Previously, in TDX QEMU patchset v5, the limitation is in userspace and  
if the size is too big, the status_code will set to TDG_VP_VMCALL_RETRY 
and the failed GPA for guest to retry is updated.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240229063726.610065-51-xiaoyao.li@intel.com/

When TDX converts TDVMCALL_MAP_GPA to KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE, do you think 
which is more reasonable to set the restriction? In KVM (TDX specific 
code) or userspace?
If userspace is preferred, then the interface needs to  be extended to 
support it.
