Yeah, I went through pretty much the exact same sequence of thoughts.  I'll keep
the underscores unless someone feels strongly that they do more harm than good.
They're a bit odd, here and in the EPT violation handler, but I do think it helps
communicate/capture that VMX/TDX-specific code needs to run before/after invoking
the inner helper.
