[PATCH v5 1/6] x86/tdx: Take the Quote buffer as a generic pointer

From: Peter Fang

Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 06:12:17 EST


tdx_hcall_get_quote() takes a "u8 *" buffer unnecessarily. It is never
used as such, since only the buffer's memory address matters. Let the
guest driver give the buffer a type internally and just accept it as a
"void *" instead.

AI was used under supervision to collect/apply feedback, review code and
workshop logs.
