Yep, let's get the crystal ball out.

TDX folks:

What other ioctl()s are in the pipeline for the guest side?

What ioctl()s are in the pipeline for the host side? Are they all part
of /dev/kvm, or are there any TDX-specific "drivers" for the host?

We want to avoid both:

1. A driver called /dev/tdx (or "tdx-guest) which is only and will only
ever do TDX guest attestation.
2. A driver called /dev/tdx-guest-attest which shares a ton of
functionality with some future TDX guest feature like
/dev/tdx-guest-snazzy-feature-foo. Then, a new driver every time
a new snazzy TDX feature shows up.
