This has the same problems as SYS.LP.INIT.  It's basically snake oil in
some TDX configurations.

This really only needs to be done when the TDX module has memory
mappings on a socket for which it needs to use the "global KeyID".  If
there's no PAMT on a socket, there are probably no allocations there to
speak of and no *technical* reason to call TDH.SYS.KEY.CONFIG on that
socket.  At least none I can see.

So, let's check up on this requirement as well.  This could also turn
out to be a real pain if all the CPUs on a socket are offline.

I think it's probably worth an aside here about why TDX security isn't
dependent on this step.  I *think* it boils down to the memory integrity
protections.  If the caches aren't flushed, a dirty KeyID-0 cacheline
could be written back to RAM.  The TDX module would come along later and
read the cacheline using KeyID-whatever, get an integrity mismatch,
machine check, and then everyone would be sad.

Everyone is sad, but TDX security remains intact because memory
integrity saved us.

Is it memory integrity or the TD bit, actually?

I hope this is covered in the code well.

I don't think you need to cover this twice.  Just do it in one comment.

MOVDIR64B is the tiniest of implementation details and also not the only
way to initialize memory integrity metadata.

Just keep this high level:

		* No need to worry about memory integrity checks here.
		* KeyID 0 has integrity checking disabled.
