Andy Lutomirski brought this up in an off-list discussion way back when the whole
private-fd thing was first being proposed.

  : The current Linux NUMA APIs (mbind, move_pages) work on virtual addresses.  If
  : we want to support them for TDX private memory, we either need TDX private
  : memory to have an HVA or we need file-based equivalents. Arguably we should add
  : fmove_pages and fbind syscalls anyway, since the current API is quite awkward
  : even for tools like numactl.
