Why a couple of new files? How much code is that?

So we slowly try to move stuff away from arch/x86/kernel/ as that is a
dumping ground for everything and everything there is "kernel" so that
part of the path is kinda redundant.

That's why, for example, we stuck the entry code under arch/x86/entry/.

I'm thinking long term we probably should stick all confidentail
computing stuff under its own folder:

arch/x86/coco/

for example. The "coco" being COnfidential COmputing, for lack of a
better idea.

And there you'll have

arch/x86/coco/tdx and
arch/x86/coco/sev

where to we'll start migrating the AMD stuff eventually too.

Methinks.
