When we initially submitted the attestation patches, virt/coco folder
was not created. I initially kept this driver in platform/x86/, but
later moved to arch/x86/coco based on the review comments in v4. There
was a discussion about the need for a new config and the location of
the driver. The outcome of that discussion is, since this is not a
traditional driver, but a basic TDX feature, we don't need a special
config and the code can be maintained in the arch/x86/coco folder.
