Note - old TDX modules that don't implement this SEAMCALL produce a
message like:
virt/tdx: TDH.SYS.DISABLE failed: 0xc000010000000000
Where that code translates to TDX_OPERAND_INVALID.
This also serves as a nudge that the module should be updated.
It might be worth including a blurb about this in the commit message -
something like below. This could be included when applying, or I can
send an updated version with this if it is acceptable.
---
An error is printed if the SEAMCALL fails with anything other than the
error codes that cause retries, or 'synthesized' error codes produced
for #GP or #UD. e.g., an old module that has been properly initialized,
that doesn't implement SYS_DISABLE, returns TDX_OPERAND_INVALID. This
prints:
virt/tdx: TDH.SYS.DISABLE failed: 0xc000010000000000
But a system that doesn't have any TDX support at all doesn't print
anything.
