Ok, I'll make it 256 bytes.

The alternative is to use key-value.  The user space loops to set all necessary
parameters.  Something like as follows.

KVM_TDX_SET_VM_PARAM

struct kvm_tdx_vm_param {
        /* TDCS metadata field. */
        __u64 field_id;
        /*
         * value for attributes or data less or qeual to __u64.
         * pointer for sha384, cpuid, or data larger than __u64.
         */
        __u64 value_or_ptr;
};
