This is obviously a preparatory change, so please split it out into a
seperate patch. You know the drill already, right?

How is this relevant to the scope of this TDX patch? Why is this not
part of the previous change which consolidated __pgprot(_PAGE_ENC)?

Just because it is too obvious to fixup the usage sites first?

This is more than lame, really. The existing SEV specific
notify_range_enc_status_changed() function has been called
unconditionally, but for TDX you add a cc_platform_has() check and still
call the AMD part unconditionally if !TDX.

Aside of that the two functions have different calling conventions. Why?

Just because the TDX function which you defined requires physical
addresses this needs to be part of the PAT code?

Make both functions share the same calling conventions and thinks hard
about whether cc_platform_has() is the proper mechanism. There are other
means to handle such things. Hint: x86_platform_ops

This is the point where my disgust tolerance ends. Seriously. Is that
all you can come up with? Slapping this kind of conditionals all over
the place?

Again. Think hard about the right abstraction for this and not about how
to duct tape it into the existing code. Just becausre cc_platform_has()
exists does not mean it's the only tool which can be used. Not
everything is a nail...

This screams for an indirect branch, e.g. some extension to the existing
x86_platform_ops.

It's trivial enough to add a (encrypted) guest specific data structure
with relevant operations to x86_platform_ops and fill that in on
detection like we do for other things. Then the whole muck here boils
down to:

- notify_range_enc_status_changed(addr, numpages, enc);
-
+ if (!ret)
+ ret = x86_platform.guest.enc_status_changed(addr, numpages, enc);

and

- cpa_flush(&cpa, !this_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SME_COHERENT));
+ cpa_flush(&cpa, x86_platform.guest.enc_flush_required(enc));

Hmm?

Feel free to come up with better names...
