Ok, but why is adding that check such a big deal?

Are you saying that nothing else will call tdx_get_ve_info() in the
future so we should trust the passed in *ve pointer blindly or should we
simply add that cheap check just in case.

I don't mind having it without it but wondering why a little defensive
programming is a problem, at all.

Thx.
