This seems to break booting up as TDX guest, as the recommended sequence to set the PAT MSR across CPUs can't work in TDX guests due to disabling caches via setting CR0.CD isn't allowed in TDX mode. This is an inconsistency in the Intel documentation between the SDM and the TDX specification. For now handle TDX mode the same way as Xen PV guest mode by just accepting the current PAT MSR setting without trying to modify it.
