Now the question is whether something like that is needed for TDX, and,
if so, could it be shared by both.

Sean?

Let that line stick out.

What does this mean exactly? On the first failure to lookup the address,
you return? Why not continue so that you can notify about the remaining
pages in [vaddr - vaddr_end)?

Also, what does it mean for the current range if the lookup fails?
Innocuous situation or do you need to signal it with a WARN or so?

Same here: if it hits the default case, wouldn't it make sense to
WARN_ONCE or so to catch potential misuse? Or better yet, the WARN_ONCE
should be in pg_level_to_pfn().

If you notify about a range then that function should be called

notify_range_enc_status_changed

or so.
