Leftover paragraph from a previous version. Can be removed.

This still doesn't make a whole lotta sense. If I do "make menuconfig" I don't
see the help text because that bool doesn't have a string prompt. So who is that
help text for?

Then, in the last patch you have

--- a/arch/x86/Kconfig
+++ b/arch/x86/Kconfig
@@ -888,6 +888,8 @@ config INTEL_TDX_GUEST
        select ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM
        select X86_MEM_ENCRYPT
        select X86_MCE
+       select UNACCEPTED_MEMORY
+       select EFI_STUB

I guess you want to select UNACCEPTED_MEMORY only.

And I've already mentioned this whole mess:

Please incorporate all review comments before sending a new version of
your patch.

Ignoring review feedback is a very unfriendly thing to do:

- if you agree with the feedback, you work it in in the next revision

- if you don't agree, you *say* *why* you don't

A TODO in a patch basically says this patch is not ready to go anywhere.

IOW, you need to handle that kexec case here gracefully. Even if you refuse to
boot a kexec-ed kernel because it cannot support handing in the bitmap from the
first kernel, yadda yadda...
