And why isn't there a tdx_module_call() wrapper to panic() on failure?  IIRC,
that's why the asm routines had the double underscore, but that detail appears
to have been lost.  E.g. __tdx_module_call(TDX_GET_VEINFO, ...) in patch 04 should
also panic, but it currently morphs the #VE into a #GP if it can't retrieve the
info, which will lead to weird "#GPs" on things like vanilla MOV instructions if
something does go wrong.  TDX_ACCEPT_PAGE is the only call into the TDX Module
for which failure is not fatal.
