Lets add a spec reference:

See section "4.1 ACPI-MADT-AP-Wakeup Table" in the Guest-Host
Communication Interface specification for TDX.

Although, there is not much "wake protocol" in this patch, this
appears to be the end of the process after the CPU has been messaged
to start.

Perhaps wrap this into an inline helper in
arch/x86/include/asm/realmode.h so that this routine only does one
assignment to @start_ip at function entry?

Is this hunk just a performance optimization to save an unnecessary
wrmsr when it is pre-populated with the right value? Is it required
for this patch? If "yes", it was not clear to me from the changelog,
if "no" seems like it belongs in a standalone optimization patch.

It seems setting X86_CR0_NE is redundant when coming through
pa_trampoline_compat, is this a standalone fix to make sure that
'numeric-error' is enabled before startup_64?

Curious, is the following not equivalent?

-SYM_DATA_LOCAL(tr_idt, .fill 1, 6, 0)
+SYM_DATA_LOCAL(tr_idt, .fill 1, 10, 0)
