Oh sorry for the confusion, looks like I pasted the function names wrong
way around above and left out where setup_kvm_tdx_caps() can be called
from.

I meant only tdx_get_capabilities() needs to call setup_kvm_tdx_caps().
And setup_kvm_tdx_caps() calls tdx_get_kvm_supported_cpuid().

The data in kvm_tdx_caps is only needed for tdx_get_capabilities(). It can
be generated from the data already in td_conf.

At least that's what it looks like to me, but maybe I'm missing something.
