I guess that's not a horrible place to start.  It's also not *horribly*
different from how guests work today.  If hosts lazily allocate RAM,
they'll see largely the same kind of behavior.

What ends up determining how much memory is pre-accepted versus being
done from the guest?  Is that just a normal part of setting up a TDX
guest, like from the qemu cmdline?  Or, is there some convention with
the virtual firmware?
