The reason being self-documenting code. In particular when looking at 
the signature of tdmr_get_pamt_sz if the 2nd argument was enum 
tdx_ps_size or some such it would be immediately evident what this 
parameter is all about. Right now it's just a plain int which can be 
anything. Indeed, this is mostly cosmetic so hence it's minor.
