The original suggestion from Boris, IIRC, was for protected_guest_has() function (below) to be: if (intel) return intel_protected_guest_has();
Yes. But for Intel, I think currently we can only check for is_tdx_guest() here. if (is_tdx_guest()) return intel_protected_guest_has(); So if we use is_tdx_guest(), it is better to call tdx_protected_guest_has() here. Once we start using protected_guest_has for other Intel technologies, may be we can generalize it. Let me know your comments.
else if (amd) return amd_protected_guest_has(); else return false; And then you could check for TDX or SME/SEV in the respective functions.
