I agree with Xiaoyao here - EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM() isn't the right fit.
And the tricky part is that a lot of it is used by arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c
(e.g. kvm_kick_cpu()), which can't be built as a kernel module.

EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(tdx_kvm_hypercall, "ptp_kvm") probably will
get you to build, but I think this would be going in a wrong direction.

So... Probably leave it as is?

The remaining EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES(..., "tdx-guest") changes look
good to me though.
