So what's the deal with this instrumentation here. The instruction is 
noinstr, so you want to make just the panic call itself instrumentable?, 
if so where's the instrumentation_end() cal;?No instrumentation_end() 
call. Actually is this complexity really worth it for the failure case?

AFAICS there is a single call site for __tdx_hypercall_failed so why 
noot call panic() directly ?

nit: Why mention the register explicitly, just say that if 
__tdcall_saved_ret returns non-zero ....
