In a way yes. Previously when the driver was just using the 128KB
constant, there was not a need to explicitly expose this header math. So
the 128KB implicity considered "header + actual quote". Now that's it's
an ABI, pushing this header math into the TDX module would mean less
flexibility in the future to use something other than the GHCI for
quoting.
