The TDX patches build on this, with the vendor callback looking like:

"
int tdx_pre_mmu_map_page(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
struct kvm_map_memory *mapping,
u64 *error_code)
{
struct kvm_tdx *kvm_tdx = to_kvm_tdx(vcpu->kvm);
struct kvm *kvm = vcpu->kvm;

if (!to_tdx(vcpu)->initialized)
return -EINVAL;

/* Shared-EPT case */
if (!(kvm_is_private_gpa(kvm, mapping->base_address)))
return 0;

/* Once TD is finalized, the initial guest memory is fixed. */
if (is_td_finalized(kvm_tdx))
return -EINVAL;

*error_code = TDX_SEPT_PFERR;
return 0;
}
"

kvm_is_private_gpa() check is already handled in this series.

The initialized and finalized checks are nice guard rails for userspace, but
shouldn't be strictly required.

The TDX_SEPT_PFERR is (PFERR_WRITE_MASK | PFERR_PRIVATE_ACCESS). The
PFERR_WRITE_MASK doesn't seem to be required. Isaku, what was the intention?

But, I think maybe we should add a hook back in the TDX series for the guard
rails.
