KVM_TDX_CAPABILITIES.cpuid doesn't work because it represents the configurable CPUIDs, not supported CPUIDs (I think we might rename it to configurable_cpuid to better reflect its meaning). So userspace has to hardcode that TSX and WAITPKG is not support itself.

I don't follow why hardcoding would be necessary.

If the leaf is represented in KVM_TDX_CAPABILITIES.cpuid, and
the bits are 0 there, why would userspace try to set them to 1?
