When memory encryption is enabled, the kernel prints the encryption
flavor that the system supports.
The check assumes that everything is AMD SME/SEV if it doesn't have
the TDX CPU feature set.
Hyper-V vTOM sets cc_vendor to CC_VENDOR_INTEL when it runs as L2 guest
on top of TDX, but not X86_FEATURE_TDX_GUEST. Hyper-V only needs memory
encryption enabled for I/O without the rest of CoCo enabling.
To avoid confusion, check the cc_vendor directly.
Possible alternative is to completely removing the print statement.
For a regular TDX guest, the kernel already prints a message indicating
that it is booting on TDX. Similarly, AMD and Hyper-V can also display
a message during their enumeration process.

With this change, will it print "Intel TDX" for Hyper-V?
IMO, since there is already a debug message for type identification, we
can remove this part.

Yes, I just tested on AMD and Intel and the print is accurate now. Thanks.

If that's the only way to get a fix merged then so be it, but I appreciate having
the possibility of greping for a single prefix for either vendor that the current
code provides.

Seems this fix is for userspace running in hyperv environment being able to use
some easy grep to get which coco vendor it is running on?
If so I think it would be nice to mention it too.

Making decision in userspace by grepping dmesg is bad idea and nobody
should do this. It can easily give false result: dmesg is not ABI, format
can change and ring buffer has finite size, the message can be overridden.
If we need a way for userspace to discover which CoCo environment it runs
on, we need proper ABI for that. Maybe sysfs file or something.

Yeah agreed. :-)
