Well, I screwed this up when I typed it too, but it is:

	TDX guests running under other hypervisors will continue
	to use those hypervisors' hypercalls.

I hate how that reads, but oh well.

No, you're not avoiding errors, you're exporting the symbol so it can be
*USED*.  The error comes from it not being exported.

It also helps to be specific here:  Export tdx_kvm_hypercall*() to make
the symbols visible to kvm.ko.

Also, FWIW, if you did this in the header:

+static inline long tdx_kvm_hypercall0(unsigned int nr)
+{
+	return tdx_kvm_hypercall(nr, 0, 0, 0, 0);
+}

You could get away with just exporting tdx_kvm_hypercall() instead of 4
symbols.  The rest of the code would look the same.
