[PATCH 0/6] TDX: Stop metadata auto-generation, improve readability

[Xu Yilun <yilun.xu@linux.intel.com>]

Hi:

This addresses the common need [1][2] to stop auto-generating metadata
reading code, improve readability, allowing us to manually edit and
review metadata code in a comfortable way. TDX Connect needs to add more
metadata fields based on this series, and I believe also for DPAMT and
TDX Module runtime update.

The main changes derive from previous code & discussions before
auto-generation is introduced, including the usage of
struct field_mapping table, the build-time field size check, the concern
about awkward "ret = ret ?: " code pattern. [3]

Another concern from DPAMT [4] leads to the last patch and I realize all
optional features may face with the same problem - Optional metadata
reading should be skipped when a TDX Module doesn't support, don't fail
the whole TDX Module initialization. I use "TDX Module Extensions" as
the example and test case just because I have the TDX Connect ENV on
hand.

This series is based on Dan's tsm#devsec-phase1 [5] (convenient for my
testing), but is clean to apply to v6.18-rc7.
