+Kirill,

I kinda forgot the detail, but what I am afraid is there might be bunch 
of existing TDX guests (since TDX guest code is upstream-ed) using 
unmodified drivers, which doesn't map MMIO regions as shared I suppose.

Kirill,

Could you clarify whether TDX guest code maps MMIO regions as shared 
since beginning?
