"external" is the core MMU naming abstraction. I think you were part of the
discussion to purge special TDX private naming from the core MMU to avoid
confusion with AMD private memory in the last MMU series.

So external page tables ended up being a general concept, and private mem is the
TDX use. In practice of course it will likely only be used for TDX. So I thought
the external<->private connection here was nice to have.

Yes, good point.

Good question, lets add this to the seamcall retry research.

Oh, yes, we should update the comment.

No strong reason. It's asymmetric to the other tdx callbacks, but KVM code tends
to be less wrapped and a tdx_vm_destory would be a oneline function. So I think
it fits in other ways.

How about:
/*
 * HKID is released after all private pages have been removed,
 * and set before any might be populated. Warn if zapping is
 * attempted when there can't be anything populated in the private
 * EPT.
 */

But actually, I wonder if we need to remove the KVM_BUG_ON(). I think if you did
a KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY and then deleted the memslot you could hit it?
