TDX hypervisors cannot emulate instructions directly. This includes
port IO which is normally emulated in the hypervisor. All port IO
instructions inside TDX trigger the #VE exception in the guest and
would be normally emulated there.

Also string I/O is not supported in TDX guest. So, unroll the string
I/O operation into a loop operating on one element at a time. This
method is similar to AMD SEV, so just extend the support for TDX guest
platform.

Add a new confidential guest flag CC_ATTR_GUEST_UNROLL_STRING_IO to
add string unroll support in asm/io.h

Would it make sense to make sev_key_active() and sev_enable_key generic and just re-use those instead of adding CC_ATTR_GUEST_UNROLL_STRING_IO and having multiple conditions here?

You can set the key in the TDX init routine just like SEV does.

Thanks,
