What's to prevent you from adding RDX and R8?  You could make
TDVMCALL_EXPOSE_REGS_MASK a macro argument.

Look at 'has_erro_code', for instance in "idtentry_body"
arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S.

Right.  So pass it in.

Yeah, it looks like they are a part of the hypercall ABI but no existing
hypercall is using them.  Patches to fix it accepted. :)
