If we can't come to an agreement that kdump should be allowed in

How would we determine that?

We can't just call the TDX module to see because it might have been
running before but got shut down.

Ah, okay, I didn't think of that.

Then we could add a kernel boot parameter to let the user opt-in for kexec
being possible in spite of the potential #MC. I think this should cover it.
