Eww.  Why not just use an entirely different struct for TDX?  I don't see what
benefit this provides other than a warm fuzzy feeling that TDX and SEV share a
struct.  Practically speaking, KVM will likely take on more work to forcefully
smush the two together than if they're separate things.

generalizing the struct of KVM_MEM_ENC_OP should be the first step. The final target should be generalizing a set of commands for confidential VMs (SEV-* VMs and TDs, maybe even for other arches), e.g., the commands to create a confidential VM and commands to live migration a confidential VM.

However, there seems not small divergence between the commands to create a SEV-* VM and TDX VMs. I'm not sure if it is worth investigating and pursuing.
