I think "for simplicity" applies to allocate IRQ/vector "from BSP using
early_initcall()" (so TDVMCALL is easily guaranteed to be called on the same cpu
where vector is allocated), but doesn't apply to allocate IRQ/vector from
x86_vector_domain and "pin the IRQ to the same CPU on which TDVMCALAL is
called". The latter is something you must do (otherwise you need to allocate
the same vector on all cpus), but not something that you do "for simplicity".

IMHO the second paragraph is obvious and no need to mention.
As explained above, I guess you just need to at somewhere simply mention
something like: "for simplicity use early_initcall() to allocate and pin the
IRQ/vector on BSP and also call the TDVMCALL on BSP". Or probably "also call
the TDVMCALL on BSP" can also be omitted as it's kinda already explained in the
nature of the TDVMCALL.
