This patch series focuses on setting up a TDX VM and adding all code
necessary to run a basic lifecycle test.

Unlike standard KVM selftests can set up the VM through guest registers,
TDX module protects TDs' register state from the host. This feature of
TDX causes problems on VM boot state initialization and the ucall
implementation.

In standard KVM selftests, the host directly initializes the guest state
by manipulating Special Registers (SREGs) and General Purpose Registers
(GPRs) via IOCTLs (KVM_SET_SREGS, etc.) before the first KVM_RUN.

To bypass direct register initialization by the host, we utilize the
standard x86 reset vector as the default entry point.

The mechanism works as follows:
1. The host places register values into a specific memory region and
   inserts boot code at the VM's default starting point.
2. When the VM starts, it executes this boot code to "pull" values from
   memory and manually set up its own SREGs and GPRs.
3. Once the environment is ready, the boot code jumps to the guest code.

The standard x86 ucall() implementation uses PIO, but it does not
actually transmit data through the 4-byte PIO data. Instead, it relies
on the host reading the ucall address directly from the guest's RDI
register.

TDX selftests cannot utilize the standard x86 ucall implementation
because the host is unable to access the guest's RDI register. Between
the two alternatives, TDVMCALL_MMIO and TDVMCALL_REPORT_FATAL_ERROR,
TDVMCALL_MMIO has fragility concerns and requires hardcoding a magic
address while ignoring mmio_gpa. Therefore, the Report Fatal Error
TDVMCALL is the cleanest and most efficient solution for TDX ucalls.

Main Changes from v15[1]:
1. Rebase onto kvm/next:
    - Replace vm_phy_pages_alloc() with ____vm_phy_pages_alloc(...,
      true, false) in tdx_vm_setup_boot_code_region() and
      tdx_vm_setup_boot_parameters_region() to allocate protected pages
      at fixed GPAs in custom memslots (TD_BOOT_CODE_SLOT and
      TD_BOOT_PARAMETERS_SLOT), as vm_phy_pages_alloc() now takes an
      enum kvm_mem_region_type.
    - Drop 3 patches.
2. Simplify tdx_init_vm() by dropping the intermediate CPUID allocation
   and clearing init_vm->cpuid.padding.
3. Move tdx_vcpu_init() to tdx_util.c, use PRIx64 for hw_error in
   tdx_vm_ioctl(), and align tdx_vcpu_ioctl() error formatting with
   tdx_vm_ioctl().
4. Decouple tdx_load_private_memory() from tdx_vm_finalize() and call
   both explicitly in kvm_arch_vm_finalize_vcpus().
5. Check 32-bit address bounds on idt, gdt, and esp_gva before assigning
   them to 32-bit boot parameter fields.
6. Refine comments, commit messages, and __tdvmcall().

Thanks for the reviews from Binbin and Xiaoyao!
