Correct.

The alignment is assumed to be guaranteed based on the Documentation you quoted
below.

	tdmr_num * sizeof(u64) is not guaranteed.

Sorry I don't understand the Hint #3.

Perhaps I should just allocate one page so it must be 512-byte aligned?

	/*
	 * TDMR_INFO entries are configured to the TDX module  via an array
	 * of physical address of each TDMR_INFO.  The TDX module requires
	 * the array itself to be 512-byte aligned.  Just allocate a page
	 * to use it as the array so the alignment can be guaranteed.  The
	 * page will be freed after TDH.SYS.CONFIG anyway.
