Right, I was thinking about it: sysfs does a one-datum-per-file thing and that
would go nuts very quickly.

I'm thinking we probably should design something like /proc/cpuinfo where we
have a single file with coco-specific infos per line:

SEV: ...
 * fw_info: ...
 * features: ...
TDX: ...
 * TD_CTLS: ...
 * features: ...

I mean, we'll agree on what the most optimal format is but having a single
file would make this a lot saner for everyone involved.

So maybe stick it in /proc...?

I'm not sure if /proc accepts any new files - I can't find anything after
a quick search but this would be the perfect place for that...

Hmmm.
