The TDX module is essentially a CPU-attested software module running
in the new Secure Arbitration Mode (SEAM) to protect VMs from malicious
host and certain physical attacks.  The TDX module implements the

/s/host/hosts

functions to build, tear down and start execution of the protected VMs
called Trusted Domains (TD).  Before the TDX module can be used to

/s/Trusted/Trust

create and run TD guests, it must be loaded into the SEAM Range Register
(SEAMRR) and properly initialized.  The TDX module is expected to be
loaded by BIOS before booting to the kernel, and the kernel is expected
to detect and initialize it, using the SEAMCALLs defined by TDX
architecture.

The TDX module can be initialized only once in its lifetime.  Instead
of always initializing it at boot time, this implementation chooses an
on-demand approach to initialize TDX until there is a real need (e.g
when requested by KVM).  This avoids consuming the memory that must be
allocated by kernel and given to the TDX module as metadata (~1/256th of

allocated by the kernel

the TDX-usable memory), and also saves the time of initializing the TDX
module (and the metadata) when TDX is not used at all.  Initializing the
TDX module at runtime on-demand also is more flexible to support TDX
module runtime updating in the future (after updating the TDX module, it
needs to be initialized again).

Introduce two placeholders tdx_detect() and tdx_init() to detect and
initialize the TDX module on demand, with a state machine introduced to
orchestrate the entire process (in case of multiple callers).

To start with, tdx_detect() checks SEAMRR and TDX private KeyIDs.  The
TDX module is reported as not loaded if either SEAMRR is not enabled, or
there are no enough TDX private KeyIDs to create any TD guest.  The TDX
module itself requires one global TDX private KeyID to crypto protect
its metadata.

And tdx_init() is currently empty.  The TDX module will be initialized
in multi-steps defined by the TDX architecture:

   1) Global initialization;
   2) Logical-CPU scope initialization;
   3) Enumerate the TDX module capabilities and platform configuration;
   4) Configure the TDX module about usable memory ranges and global
      KeyID information;
   5) Package-scope configuration for the global KeyID;
   6) Initialize usable memory ranges based on 4).

The TDX module can also be shut down at any time during its lifetime.
In case of any error during the initialization process, shut down the
module.  It's pointless to leave the module in any intermediate state
during the initialization.

SEAMCALL requires SEAMRR being enabled and CPU being already in VMX
operation (VMXON has been done), otherwise it generates #UD.  So far
only KVM handles VMXON/VMXOFF.  Choose to not handle VMXON/VMXOFF in
tdx_detect() and tdx_init() but depend on the caller to guarantee that,
since so far KVM is the only user of TDX.  In the long term, more kernel
components are likely to use VMXON/VMXOFF to support TDX (i.e. TDX
module runtime update), so a reference-based approach to do VMXON/VMXOFF
is likely needed.

May be adding these states when you really need will make
more sense. Currently this patch only uses SHUTDOWN and
NONE states. Other state usage is not very clear.
