I think it's okay for KVM_X86_TDX_VM as long as we don't change the value for
KVM_X86_DEFAULT_VM.  Because vm_type KVM_X86_TDX_VM is different from the
default and the document (Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst), 4.4
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION explicitly encourages VM version.

  Based on their initialization different VMs may have different capabilities.
  It is thus encouraged to use the vm ioctl to query for capabilities (available
  with KVM_CAP_CHECK_EXTENSION_VM on the vm fd)

The change to qemu will be mostly trivial with the quick check.
