The original suggestion from Boris, IIRC, was for protected_guest_has()

Yes. But for Intel, I think currently we can only check for is_tdx_guest() here.
if (is_tdx_guest())
return intel_protected_guest_has();
So if we use is_tdx_guest(), it is better to call tdx_protected_guest_has() here.
Once we start using protected_guest_has for other Intel technologies, may be
we can generalize it. Let me know your comments.
else if (amd)
return amd_protected_guest_has();
else
return false;
And then you could check for TDX or SME/SEV in the respective functions.
