Hmm, one option would be to make .get_tdp_level() pure function by passing
in vcpu->arch.maxphyaddr.  That should make the comment redundant.  I don't
love bleeding VMX's implementation into the prototype, but that ship has
kinda already sailed.

Side topic, cpuid_query_maxphyaddr() should be unexported, the RTIT usage can
and should use vcpu->arch.maxphyaddr.  I'll send a patch for that.
