Hmm, we usually could refer to a document by name. But this is just a txt in a
github repo... Maybe just:
Intel TDX module blob is a format for distributing TDX module updates. It is
parsed by the host before internal bits are passed to the TDX module. For
details, see the latest TDX module update repository.
To me the confusing part in all of this is that there is a format that the host
has to parse and then pass different bits into the TDX module. Usually something
would just take the format it defines. So I think that is probably good context
to have around it.
