Will use SZ_64K.

Will update:

TDVMCALL_GET_QUOTE is another example of a request whose
completion is handled asynchronously.

Will add below to changelog:
a TDCM operation may take longer than is appropriate for a single
TD.VMCALL invocation. The host acknowledges submission and reports
completion through the shared status field. The guest waits for that status
with a bounded polling timeout and delay, rather than remaining in the
hypercall for the whole operation. This also avoids holding the vCPU in a
long-running hypercall that could trigger a guest soft-lockup warning.

"TDCM module" is GHCI terminology. In this series, the guest-side
implementation is in the TDX TSM driver; it is not an NRX module.

TDCM requests are forwarded to the host, which handles them using the
applicable TDX Connect operations. Some of those host-side operations
use the NRX facility for TDISP processing, but that is an implementation
detail of those operations, not how TDCM itself is implemented.
