Presumably bios code is in arch/x86 and drivers/acpi, right?
Up to 200 calls the majority of which is likely private ...
Yes.

I don't have better ideas but the current setup will just
result in people making their guests vulnerable whenever they
want to allow device pass-through.

Yes that's true. For current TDX our target is virtual devices only. But if
pass through usage will be really wide spread we may need to revisit.

I mean ... it's already wide spread. If we support it with TDX
it will be used with TDX. If we don't then I guess it won't,
exposing this kind of limitation in a userspace visible way isn't great
though. I guess it boils down to the fact that
ioremap_host_shared is just not a great interface, users simply
have no idea whether a given driver uses ioremap.
