Hi Dave,
There were big design changes in the history of this series (i.e. we originally
supported loading both the NP-SEAMLDR ACM and the TDX module during boot, and we
changed from initializing the module from during kernel boot to at runtime), but
yes some other Linux/KVM TDX developers in our team have been reviewing this
series during the all time, at least at some extent. They just didn't give
Reviewed-by or Acked-by.
Especially, after we had agreed that this series in general should enable TDX
with minimal code change, Kevin helped to review this series intensively and
helped to simplify the code to the current shape (i.e. TDMR part). He didn't
give any of tags either (only said this series is ready for you to review),
perhaps because he was _helping_ to get this series to the shape that is ready
for you and other Intel reviewers to review.
