>Should this go in the previous patch?
I didn't put it there because the previous patch doesn't strictly need
it; this patch is the first user.
Adding the macro in the previous patch while still tagging
__read_sys_metadata_table() __maybe_unused looks a bit odd:
the macro references the function, yet nothing uses either of them.
That said, I can move it if the oddness doesn't bother you.

>I'm not sure we need all of these helpers that are each only called once?
I'd prefer to keep them, for a few reasons:
1. This one is actually called twice: from get_tdx_sys_info() and from
tdx_module_run_update().
2. The helper name describes what is being read better than a bare
read_sys_metadata_table() call.
3. Some helpers do more than read a table (see get_tdx_sys_info_td_conf()).
Without per-class helpers, get_tdx_sys_info() would open-code
read_sys_metadata_table() for some classes and call a helper for
others, which looks inconsistent. With one helper per metadata class,
every class is read the same way.
