The confidential computing attributes are, yes, features. I've been
preaching since the very beginning that vTOM *is* *also* one such
feature. It is a feature bit in sev_features, for chrissakes. So by that
logic, those SEV-SNP HyperV guests should return true when

	cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_GUEST_SEV_SNP_VTOM);

is tested.

But Sean doesn't like that.

If the access method to the IO-APIC and vTPM are specific to the
HyperV's vTOM implementation, then I don't mind if this were called

	cc_platform_has(CC_ATTR_GUEST_HYPERV_VTOM);

Frankly, I don't see any other enlightened guest using vTOM except
HyperV's but virt folks have managed to surprise me in the past too.

In any case, a single flag which is specific to that guest type is fine
too.

It feels like we're running in circles by now... ;-\
