[PATCHv2 14/29] x86/tdx: Early boot handling of port I/O

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

TDX guests cannot do port I/O directly. The TDX module triggers a #VE
exception to let the guest kernel emulate port I/O, by converting them
into TDCALLs to call the host.

But before IDT handlers are set up, port I/O cannot be emulated using
normal kernel #VE handlers. To support the #VE-based emulation during
this boot window, add a minimal early #VE handler support in early
exception handlers. This is similar to what AMD SEV does. This is
mainly to support earlyprintk's serial driver, as well as potentially
the VGA driver (although it is expected not to be used).

The early handler only supports I/O-related #VE exceptions. Unhandled or
failed exceptions will be handled via early_fixup_exceptions() (like
normal exception failures).

This early handler enables the use of normal in*/out* macros without
patching them for every driver. Since there is no expectation that
early port I/O is performance-critical, the #VE emulation cost is worth
the simplicity benefit of not patching the port I/O usage in early
code. There are also no concerns with nesting, since there should be
no NMIs or interrupts this early.
