Uuuh, lovely. I'd like to see what the TDX folks think about this
export first.

I don't really like it much.  This does a generic thing (make a TDX
hypercall) with a specific name ("vmware_").  If you want to make an
argument that a certain chunk of the __tdx_hypercall() space is just for
VMWare and you also add a VMWare-specific check and then export *that*,
it might be acceptable.

But I don't want random modules able to make random, unrestricted TDX
hypercalls.  That's asking for trouble.

Considering exporting of __tdx_hypercall for random modules is not an option, what VMware specific checks you are suggesting?
