Only those are used for SEAMCALLs except TDH.VP.ENTER. TDH.VP.ENTER is an
exception.

As discussed at [1], out can be eliminated. We will have only limited output.
If we go for that route, we'll have the two following functions.
Does it make sense?

void pr_tdx_error(u64 op, u64 error_code)
{
        pr_err_ratelimited("SEAMCALL (0x%016llx) failed: 0x%016llx\n",
                           op, error_code);
}

void pr_tdx_sept_error(u64 op, u64 error_code, const union tdx_sept_entry *entry,
		       const union tdx_sept_level_state *level_state)
{
#define MSG \
        "SEAMCALL (0x%016llx) failed: 0x%016llx entry 0x%016llx level_state 0x%016llx\n"
        pr_err_ratelimited(MSG, op, error_code, entry->raw, level_state->raw);
}
