Yep, I'm on board.

Ah, I see how that could be confusing.

Sorry for that. Thanks for taking the time to weed through it anyway.

Oh, yep. In v19 there used to be a KVM_BUG_ON(), but we can get rid of it.

Right, this is another miss from removing the KVM_BUG_ON()s.

TDX of course has the limitation around the ordering of the zapping S-EPT. So I
read the comment to be referring to how the implementation avoids zapping any
non-leaf PTEs during TD runtime.

But I'm going to have to circle back here after investigating a bit more. Isaku,
any comments on this comment and conditional?

Oh, yep, thanks.

Ok.
