TDX provides increased levels of memory confidentiality and integrity.
This requires special hardware support for features like memory
encryption and storage of memory integrity checksums. Not all memory
satisfies these requirements.
As a result, the TDX introduced the concept of a "Convertible Memory
Region" (CMR). During boot, the firmware builds a list of all of the
memory ranges which can provide the TDX security guarantees. The list
of these ranges is available to the kernel by querying the TDX module.
However those TDX-capable memory regions are not automatically usable to
the TDX module. The kernel needs to choose which convertible memory
regions to be the TDX-usable memory and pass those regions to the TDX
module when initializing the module. Once those ranges are passed to
the TDX module, the TDX-usable memory regions are fixed during module's
lifetime.
To avoid having to modify the page allocator to distinguish TDX and
non-TDX memory allocation, this implementation guarantees all pages
managed by the page allocator are TDX memory. This means any hot-added
memory to the page allocator will break such guarantee thus should be
prevented.
There are basically two memory hot-add cases that need to be prevented:
ACPI memory hot-add and driver managed memory hot-add. However, adding
new memory to ZONE_DEVICE should not be prevented as those pages are not
managed by the page allocator. Therefore memremap_pages() variants
should be allowed although they internally also use memory hotplug
functions.
ACPI memory hotplug is already prevented. To prevent driver managed
memory and still allow memremap_pages() variants to work, add a __weak
hook to do arch-specific check in add_memory_resource(). Implement the
x86 version to prevent new memory region from being added when TDX is
enabled by BIOS.
The __weak arch-specific hook is used instead of a new CC_ATTR similar
to disable software CPU hotplug. It is because some driver managed
memory resources may actually be TDX-capable (such as legacy PMEM, which
is underneath indeed RAM), and the arch-specific hook can be further
enhanced to allow those when needed.
Note arch-specific hook for __remove_memory() is not required. Both
ACPI hot-removal and driver managed memory removal cannot reach it.

add a new cc attribute (if existing ones don't fit) for TDX host platform and
check the attribute here. So that the code here can be reused by other cc
platforms if they have the same requirement.

Please see my explanation in the commit message:
The __weak arch-specific hook is used instead of a new CC_ATTR similar
to disable software CPU hotplug. It is because some driver managed
memory resources may actually be TDX-capable (such as legacy PMEM, which
is underneath indeed RAM), and the arch-specific hook can be further
enhanced to allow those when needed.

Shouldn't a patch that claims to be only for "driver managed memory" be
patching add_memory_driver_managed()?

Right given the ACPI memory hotplug is handled in a separate patch. Will move
to add_memory_driver_managed().
