Can we turn them into macros that make it super obvious they are checking if the
error code *is* xyz?  E.g.

#define IS_TDX_ERR_OPERAND_BUSY
#define IS_TDX_ERR_OPERAND_INVALID
#define IS_TDX_ERR_NO_ENTROPY
#define IS_TDX_ERR_SW_ERROR

As is, it's not at all clear that things like tdx_success() are simply checks,
as opposed to commands.
