I rather call it a security feature: It makes TDX unbreakably secure.

  early_init_intel(c)
    if (detect_extended_topology_early(c) < 0)
       detect_ht_early(c);

  acpi_boot_init()
    ....

  identify_boot_cpu(c)
    detect_ht(c);

Aaargh. That whole CPU identification code is a complete horrorshow.

I'll have a look....
