Hi Isaku,

(In shortlog "tdexit" can be "TD exit" to be consistent with
documentation.)

This corresponds to VMX __vmx_complete_interrupts().  Because TDX
virtualize vAPIC, KVM only needs to care NMI injection.
This seems to be the first appearance of NMI and the changelog
is very brief. How about expending it with:

"This corresponds to VMX __vmx_complete_interrupts().  Because TDX
  virtualize vAPIC, KVM only needs to care about NMI injection.
  ^
  virtualizes

Also, does it need to mention that non-NMI interrupts are handled by posted-interrupt mechanism?

For example:

"This corresponds to VMX __vmx_complete_interrupts().  Because TDX
 virtualizes vAPIC, and non-NMI interrupts are delivered using posted-interrupt
 mechanism, KVM only needs to care about NMI injection.
...
"


  KVM can request TDX to inject an NMI into a guest TD vCPU when the
  vCPU is not active. TDX will attempt to inject an NMI as soon as
  possible on TD entry. NMI injection is managed by writing to (to
  inject NMI) and reading from (to get status of NMI injection)
  the PEND_NMI field within the TDX vCPU scope metadata (Trust
  Domain Virtual Processor State (TDVPS)).

  Update KVM's NMI status on TD exit by checking whether a requested
  NMI has been injected into the TD. Reading the metadata via SEAMCALL
  is expensive so only perform the check if an NMI was injected.

  This is the first need to access vCPU scope metadata in the
  "management" class. Ensure that needed accessor is available.
