Not clear why you need to split into multiple patches. If we put all
initialization into one patch, it's much easier to see why those steps are done
in whatever way.

To me it's better to move this chunk to the patch which actually implements how
to flush TLB foro private pages. W/o some background, it's hard to tell why TDX
needs to overrides tlb_remote_flush callback. Otherwise it's quite hard to
review here.

For instance, even if it must be replaced, I am wondering why it must be empty
at the beginning? For instance, assuming it has an original version which does
something:

x86_ops->tlb_remote_flush = vmx_remote_flush;

Why cannot it be replaced with vt_tlb_remote_flush():

int vt_tlb_remote_flush(struct kvm *kvm)
{
if (is_td(kvm))
return tdx_tlb_remote_flush(kvm);

return vmx_remote_flush(kvm);
}

?

Again, I think it's better to introduce those in the patch where you actually
need those. It will be more clear if you introduce those with the code which
actually uses them.

For instance, I think both hkid_start_pos and hkid_mask are not necessary. If
you want to apply one keyid to an address, isn't below enough?

u64 phys |= ((keyid) << boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits);

I think if you introduce a "tdx_ops.h", or "tdx_x86_ops.h", and you can only
include it when CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_HOST is true, then in tdx_ops.h you don't need
those stubs.

Makes sense?
