I rather call it a security feature: It makes TDX unbreakably secure.

early_init_intel(c)
if (detect_extended_topology_early(c) < 0)
detect_ht_early(c);
acpi_boot_init()
....
identify_boot_cpu(c)
detect_ht(c);
Aaargh. That whole CPU identification code is a complete horrorshow.
I'll have a look....
