Yes, I know. I'm using the patch series:

   [PATCH v19 000/130] KVM TDX basic feature support

which I think does exactly that (see setup_tdparams() and tdx_module_setup()).

Nevertheless the clobbering happened, and saving/restoring %rbp made the
issue to go away. I suspect there is a path left still clobbering %rbp.

I was testing on an Emerald Rapids system:
