I would love to be able to test this series and run full-blown VMs without TDX or SEV hardware. The other option for getting test coverage is KVM selftests, which don't have an existing guest that needs to be enlightened. Vishal is doing work on that front, though I think it's still in early stages. Long term, selftests will also be great for negative testing.
