Ack. Though, wouldn't it be faster to just post timer interrupts right
away without causing vcpu exit?

Another scenario I was thinking of was hrtimer expiry during vcpu exit
being handled in KVM/userspace, which will cause timer interrupt
injection after the next exit [1] delaying timer interrupt to guest.
This scenario is not specific to TDX VMs though.
