The hacking of the phys_addr_bits is a pretty important part of this.
Are you sure it's not worth calling out in the description?

The indentation there looks a bit wonky. Might want to double-check it.

Also, can you clearly spell out which of these things are software
constructs vs. hardware ones? MKTME_* look like software constructs.

Just curious, but how do you know that this indicates the BIOS disabling
MKTME?

To me, it's a little bit odd that we "enable" MKTME down in the keyid
detection code. I wonder if you could just return the resulting number
of keyids and then actually do the mktme_status munging in one place
(detect_tme()).

How do we tell guests about this? kvm_set_mmio_spte_mask()?

Returning the result of a void function is a bit odd-looking. Would it
look nicer to just have a label and some gotos to the detection?

I noticed that this code is not optional, other than by disabling
CPU_SUP_INTEL. Was that intentional? What were your thoughts behind that?
