So, the text here should help me understand what is going on.  What it
tries to tell me should not be a literal rephrasing of the contents of
the diff.

This patch literally introduces a function called tdg_vm_wr().  The
subject adds precisely zero to what I can get from reading the diff.

How about:

	x86/tdx: Factor out TD metadata write tdcall

Ideally this would at least tell me what problem this is solving:

	The TDG_VM_WR seamcall is used to ask the TDX module to change
	some TD-specific VM configuration.  There is currently only one
	user in the kernel of this seamcall.  More will be added
	shortly.

.. and then the solution:

	Refactor to make way for more users of TDG_VM_WR who will need
	to modify other TD configuration values.
