Ya, or split the if-statement into multiple chucks, with comments explaining
what each non-intuitive chunk is doing. The pi_has_pending_interrupt(vcpu) check
is self-explanatory, the halted thing, not so much. They are terminal statements,
there's zero reason to pre-check the PID.

E.g.

/*
* Comment explaining why KVM needs to assume a non-halted vCPU has a
* pending interrupt (KVM can't see RFLAGS.IF).
*/
if (vcpu->arch.mp_state != KVM_MP_STATE_HALTED)
return true;

if (pi_has_pending_interrupt(vcpu))
return;

I'm pretty sure interrupt_disabled_hlt shouldn't exist, should "a0", a.k.a. r12,
be preserved at this point?

/* Another comment explaning magic code. */
if (to_vmx(vcpu)->exit_reason.basic == EXIT_REASON_HLT &&
tdvmcall_a0_read(vcpu))
return false;


Actually, can't this all be:

if (to_vmx(vcpu)->exit_reason.basic != EXIT_REASON_HLT)
return true;

if (!tdvmcall_a0_read(vcpu))
return false;

if (pi_has_pending_interrupt(vcpu))
return true;

return tdx_has_pending_virtual_interrupt(vcpu);
