What's the point of doing this on !TDX? None.

So is this the "host is TDX" check?
Not a X86_FEATURE flag but something homegrown. And Kirill is trying to
switch the CC_ATTRs to X86_FEATURE_ flags for SEV but here you guys are
using something homegrown.
why not a X86_FEATURE_ flag?
The CC_ATTR things are for guests, I guess, but the host feature checks
should be X86_FEATURE_ flags things.
Hmmm.
