I don't think they want different things really.

TDX doesn't need this protocol.  It sounds like SEV does need it,
though.  That doesn't mean they really diverge.  They're *both* going to
have to poke at this protocol knob to get the firmware to not accept the
memory.

This does slightly change the motivation for doing explicit unaccepted
memory support in the kernel.

I also don't know _quite_ how this will look to a guest.  For instance,
will they see different memory maps based on which protocol they are
using?  I assume so, but didn't see any of that explicitly mentioned in
this patch.
