Hi
Here are 2 small self-explanatory patches related to clearing TDX private
pages.
Patch 1 is a minor tidy-up.
In patch 2, by skipping the clearing step, shutdown time can improve by
up to 40%.
Changes in V3:
x86/tdx: Eliminate duplicate code in tdx_clear_page()
Explain "quirk" rename in commit message (Rick)
Explain mb() change in commit message (Rick)
Add Rev'd-by, Ack'd-by tags
x86/tdx: Skip clearing reclaimed pages unless X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE is present
Remove "flush cache" comments (Rick)
Update function comment to better relate to "quirk" naming (Rick)
Add "via MOVDIR64B" to comment (Xiaoyao)
Add Rev'd-by, Ack'd-by tags
Changes in V2 (as requested by Dave):
x86/tdx: Eliminate duplicate code in tdx_clear_page()
Rename reset_tdx_pages() to tdx_quirk_reset_paddr()
Call tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() directly
x86/tdx: Skip clearing reclaimed pages unless X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE is present
Improve the comment
