Does this function has to be overriden by SEV and TDX to support the private
regions?

Yes it should be overridden by architectures which want to support it.

o.k

this is to store private region metadata not only the encrypted region?

Correct.

Sorry for not being clear, was suggesting name change of this function from:
"kvm_vm_ioctl_set_encrypted_region" to "kvm_vm_ioctl_set_private_region"

Though I don't have strong reason to change it, I'm fine with this and

Yes, no strong reason, just thought "kvm_vm_ioctl_set_private_region" would depict the actual functionality :)

this name matches the above kvm_arch_private_mem_supported perfectly.
BTW could not understand this, how "kvm_vm_ioctl_set_encrypted_region"
matches "kvm_arch_private_mem_supported"?

Thanks,
