The fact that the value decreases on each TDH.EXT.MEM.ADD is not relevant
here.

Also, calling 0 "unusual" does not help the reader. It is either a valid
value the kernel needs to handle, or an invalid one the kernel can assert
on.

How about:
	
	/*
	 * The TDX module may require no memory at all. Skip the memory
	 * setup in that case.
	 */
