In addition to the GetReport support currently implemented, we have
following two attestation related IOCTLs in the pipeline.

1. GetQuote - Adds support to get signed Quote for the given TDREPORT. This
is currently in the review process.
2. VerifyReport - Verifies whether given Reportdata is generated in
the current platform. It is only enabled in v1.5 TDX
Module specification.

In addition to above, I think there is a possibility to add IOCTL to get
storage keys from the ACPI SVKL table. Storage Volume Key Table (SVKL) is
used by the VBIOS to share keys required to access encrypted drives. Although
we don't have a clear requirement, I suspect that we might add IOCTL for it.

Kirill/Isaku/Kai, If I missed any other IOCTL requirements, please add it.
