I meant it is used in the sense that patch "[PATCH V2 07/12] KVM: TDX: 
restore host xsave state when exit from the guest TD" provides a value for it.

But it looks like it might be accessible via:
	store_regs()
		__get_sregs()
			__get_sregs_common()

Sean wanted a maximal CR0 value consistent with the CR4.

CR4 is also being used in kvm_update_cpuid_runtime().
