Ok, I'll make it 256 bytes.

The alternative is to use key-value. The user space loops to set all necessary
parameters. Something like as follows.

KVM_TDX_SET_VM_PARAM

struct kvm_tdx_vm_param {
/* TDCS metadata field. */
__u64 field_id;
/*
* value for attributes or data less or qeual to __u64.
* pointer for sha384, cpuid, or data larger than __u64.
*/
__u64 value_or_ptr;
};
