I am not sure why we need 1024B either.

IIUC, the inputs here in 'kvm_tdx_init_vm' should be a subset of the members in
TD_PARAMS.  This IOCTL() isn't intended to carry any additional input besides
these defined in TD_PARAMS, right?

If so, then it seems to me you "at most" only need to reserve the space for the
members excluding the CPUID entries, because for the CPUID entries we will
always pass them as a flexible array at the end of the structure.

Based on the spec, the "non-CPUID-entry" part only occupies 256 bytes.  To me it
seems we have no reason to reserve more space than 256 bytes.
