Reason for suggesting seperate function for tdx_* specific protected guest
check is, we will be adding some exceptions for TDX features (like command
line option used to override the default flags or when device filter
support is disabled). Our current final version looks like below. Such
customization are not good in generic intel_* function right?

bool tdx_prot_guest_has(unsigned long flag)
{
         bool tdx_guest_enabled = cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_TDX_GUEST);

         if (flag == tdg_disable_prot)
                 return false;

         switch (flag) {
         case PATTR_GUEST_TDX:
         case PATTR_GUEST_UNROLL_STRING_IO:
         case PATTR_GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT:
         case PATTR_GUEST_SHARED_MAPPING_INIT:
         case PATTR_MEM_ENCRYPT:
         case PATTR_GUEST_SECURE_TIME:
         case PATTR_GUEST_CPUID_FILTER:
         case PATTR_GUEST_RAND_LOOP:
                 return tdx_guest_enabled;
         case PATTR_GUEST_DRIVER_FILTER:
                 return tdg_filter_enabled() && tdx_guest_enabled;
         }

         return false;
}
