Let's drop the last three paragraphs and just say something like: "This is one of a series of patches to usages of wbinvd for protected guests. For now this just addresses the one known path that TDX executes, ACPI reboot. Its usage can be elided because FOO reason and all the other ACPI_FLUSH_CPU_CACHE usages can be elided because BAR reason" > > So, most drivers/code-paths that use wbinvd instructions are > already disabled for TDX guest platforms via config-option/BIOS. > Following are the list of drivers that use wbinvd instruction > and are still enabled for TDX guests. > > drivers/acpi/sleep.c > drivers/acpi/acpica/hwsleep.c > > Since cache is always coherent in TDX guests, making wbinvd as > noop should not cause any issues.

If you want to change ACPICA it goes through the ACPICA project first and is then "Linux-ized", but in this case I believe you do not need to go that path. Instead, this wants to change the definition of ACPI_FLUSH_CPU_CACHE() directly in arch/x86/include/asm/acenv.h and explain why the other ACPI cache flushing paths / requirements do not apply to TDX guests.
