Yes.

The spec says the The Bit[31:0] only reports the number of MKTME KeyIDs, and it
does exclude KeyID 0.

My machine has 6 hardware bits in total (that is KeyID 0 ~ 63), and the upper 48
KeyIDs are reserved to TDX.  In my case:

	[Bit 31:0] = 15
	[Bit 63:32] = 48

And tdx_keyid_start and nr_tdx_keyids are 16 and 48.

The TDX KeyID range: [16, 63], or [16, 64).

So [Bit 31:0] reports only "NUM_MKTME_KIDS", which excludes KeyID 0.

I'll use your original comment.

Apology.  I missed it this time.

Yes will follow.
