Adding RBP to the struct shouldn't be a problem, we'll just not use it.
Same as RSP, nobody sane would expect that to be used. If you worry
about it you can give them funny names like:

struct tdx_module_args {
	unsigned long ax;
	unsigned long cx;
	unsigned long dx;
	unsigned long bx;
	unsigned long __sp_unused;
	unsigned long __bp_unused;
	unsigned long si;
	unsigned long di;
	...
};

I mean, at this point the whole thing is just 128 bytes of data anyway.
