The existing asm code for __tdx_hypercall() passes through R10~R15
(see TDVMCALL_EXPOSE_REGS_MASK) to the (KVM) hypervisor.

Unluckily, for Hyper-V, we need to pass through RDX, R8, R10 and R11
to Hyper-V, so I don't think I can use the existing __tdx_hypercall() ?

I don't think the current TDVMCALL_EXPOSE_REGS_MASK allows me
to pass through RDX and R8 to Hyper-V.

PS, the comment before __tdx_hypercall() contains this line:

"* RBX, RBP, RDI, RSI  - Used to pass VMCALL sub function specific
arguments."

But it looks like currently RBX an RBP are not used at all in 
arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdcall.S ?
