A general comment, we have sev_ioctl() interface for SEV guests and
probably this new vm level ioctl will not work for us.

It probably makes more sense to do this TDX/SEV level abstraction 
using the Memory Region's ram_debug_ops, which can point these to 
TDX specific vm level ioctl and SEV specific ioctl at the lowest
level of this interface.
