Accepting happens via a protocol specific for the Virtrual Machine
platform.

That sentence bothers me a bit. Can you explain what it VMM specific in
the acceptance protocol?

For TDX we have a signle MapGPA hypercall to VMM plus TDAcceptPage for
every accepted page to TDX Module. SEV-SNP has to something similar.

I think Joerg's question was if TDX has a single ABI for all hypervisors.
The GHCI specification supports both hypervisor specific and hypervisor
agnostic calls. But these basic operations like MapGPA are all hypervisor
agnostic. The only differences would be in the existing hypervisor specific
PV code.

My point was that TDX and SEV-SNP going to be different and we need a way
to hook the right protocol for each.
