But for (at least) TDX guest I recall we _CAN_ allow guest's MMIO to be
mapped as private, right? The guest is supposed to get a #VE anyway?
Perhaps I am missing something -- I apologize if this has already been
discussed.

Again I _think_ for TDX APIC gfn can be private? IIUC virtualizing APIC
is done by the TDX module, which injects #VE to guest when emulation is
required.
