The purpose was to indicate SYS.INIT takes RCX as input, but OK I agree it's
unnecessary.

I found the existing upstream TDX code uses this pattern (please see
tdx_parse_info(), hv_tdx_hypercall() and try_accept_one()):

	struct tdx_module_args args = {};

	args.xx = xx;
	args.yy = yy;
	...

So I followed in this series.  

But I think explicit zeroing the structure isn't needed, so I think I'll just
remove the explicit initialization in the @args declaration in all SEAMCALLs
which use this pattern in this series:

	struct tdx_module_args args;

	/* RCX is module attributes and all bits are reserved */
	args.rcx = 0;

Or just explicitly init RCX in the declaration:

	struct tdx_module_args args = {
		.rcx = 0;	/* Module attributes. All bits reserved. */
	};
	// other variable declarations

But it seems many people don't like tail comment.

Hi Kirill/Dave,

Do you have any preference?
