For the DICE host changes, the reason given for why the host side quote
operation is TD scoped was to avoid changing the guest by increasing the report
size. But actually, as this coverletter points out, the guest buffer sizes do
get changed. So I think we should pause this series until we sort out the
inconsistencies in the reasoning. Depending, we may want to circle back with KVM
folks on what the options actually are for the DICE quote operation.
