Something was cut off?

Nit:
The headers in tools/testing/selftests/kvm use SELFTEST_KVM_XXX.

I think this should just be 0 instead of TDG_VP_VMCALL, although
TDG_VP_VMCALL is also 0.
Per GHCI spec about R10:
 : Set to 0 indicates that TDG.VP.VMCALL leaf used in R11 is defined
 : in this specification.
 : All other values 0x1 to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF indicate TDG.VP.VMCALL
 : is vendor-specific (both R10 and R11).
