And we can/should do what we've done for SEV, and make it a hard dependency to
enable TDX, e.g. similar to this:

/*
* SEV must obviously be supported in hardware. Sanity check that the
* CPU supports decode assists, which is mandatory for SEV guests to
* support instruction emulation. Ditto for flushing by ASID, as SEV
* guests are bound to a single ASID, i.e. KVM can't rotate to a new
* ASID to effect a TLB flush.
*/
if (!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SEV) ||
WARN_ON_ONCE(!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_DECODEASSISTS)) ||
WARN_ON_ONCE(!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_FLUSHBYASID)))
goto out;
