Just on this one, it's already specified in the latest SVSM doc:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-coco/a2f31400-9e1c-c12a-ad7f-ea0265a12068@xxxxxxx/

The Service Attestation Data on page 36-37.  It says TPMT_PUBLIC of the
EK.  However, what it doesn't say is *which* EK.  I already sent in a
comment saying it should be the TCG template for the P-256 curve EK.

So asking the SVSM to give you the attestation report for the VTPM
service binds the EK of the vTPM.
