What makes it particularly hard to have this as a separate .o file rather
than an #include?

It's to let complier to optimize functionc call of "if (tdx) tdx_xxx() else vmx_xxx()",
given x86_ops static call story.

As long as it's not an indirect call, not inlining tdx_xxx and vmx_xxx is unlikely to give a lot of benefit.

What you could do, is use a static branch that bypasses the "is_tdx_vcpu/vm" check if no TDX VM is running. A similar technique is used to bypass the test for in-kernel APIC if all VM have it.
