Yes, that's nice, thanks.

Alternatively, you could simply point at the relevant place in the TDX
documentation so that people can go look at it and find out how, for
example, a MSR read is done, ABI-wise.

With all those confidential computing solutions and the amount of specs
out there, one can get lost pretty easily so having doc references
should be very helpful.

Thx.
