Yes. I think his original intention is to implement intel_prot_guest_has() in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c and then call tdx_prot_guest_has() from it. But since
we have no other use cases, we have called tdx_prot_*() directly here.

Boris, how do you want to proceed? Do you want me to implement intel_prot_guest_has()
or change comparison log to TDX specific?
