Maybe one minor question regarding the pkru restore. In the non-TDX version
kvm_load_host_xsave_state(), it first tries to read the current setting
vcpu->arch.pkru = rdpkru(); if this setting does not equal to host_pkru,
it trigger the write_pkru on host. Does it mean we can also leverage that mechanism
in TDX to avoid 1 pkru write(I guess pkru write is costly than a read pkru)?
