I don't really like it much. This does a generic thing (make a TDX
hypercall) with a specific name ("vmware_"). If you want to make an
argument that a certain chunk of the __tdx_hypercall() space is just for
VMWare and you also add a VMWare-specific check and then export *that*,
it might be acceptable.

But I don't want random modules able to make random, unrestricted TDX
hypercalls. That's asking for trouble.
