--verbose please.  That somehow doesn't make sense to me.

A guest is either TDX-aware (which should be the case for linux 5.19+),
or it is not.  My expectation would be that guests which are not
TDX-aware will be disturbed by any #VE exception, not only the ones
triggered by EPT violations.  So I'm wondering what this config bit
actually is useful for ...

take care,
