So given this series, what is the canonical way to expose sub-features of
TDX/SNP going forward? X86_FEATURE_xxx for every one that needs to be queried
in TDX/SNP specific code?

I see that in [1] X86_FEATURE_SNP_SECURE_TSC is being proposed. How about the
CC_ATTR_TDX_MODULE_CALLS (perhaps better called TDX_TDCALL or something) that
I'm proposing in the other thread [2]? VTOM? SVSM?

We can also export amd_cc_platform_has() and intel_cc_platform_has() for such cases.
But we really need is to agree which to use when (X86_FEATURE vs CC_ATTR).
