Kirill A. Shutemov 527a534c73 x86/tdx: Provide common base for SEAMCALL and TDCALL C wrappers
Secure Arbitration Mode (SEAM) is an extension of VMX architecture.  It
defines a new VMX root operation (SEAM VMX root) and a new VMX non-root
operation (SEAM VMX non-root) which are both isolated from the legacy
VMX operation where the host kernel runs.

A CPU-attested software module (called 'TDX module') runs in SEAM VMX
root to manage and protect VMs running in SEAM VMX non-root.  SEAM VMX
root is also used to host another CPU-attested software module (called
'P-SEAMLDR') to load and update the TDX module.

Host kernel transits to either P-SEAMLDR or TDX module via the new
SEAMCALL instruction, which is essentially a VMExit from VMX root mode
to SEAM VMX root mode.  SEAMCALLs are leaf functions defined by
P-SEAMLDR and TDX module around the new SEAMCALL instruction.

A guest kernel can also communicate with TDX module via TDCALL
instruction.

TDCALLs and SEAMCALLs use an ABI different from the x86-64 system-v ABI.
RAX is used to carry both the SEAMCALL leaf function number (input) and
the completion status (output).  Additional GPRs (RCX, RDX, R8-R11) may
be further used as both input and output operands in individual leaf.

TDCALL and SEAMCALL share the same ABI and require the largely same
code to pass down arguments and retrieve results.

Define an assembly macro that can be used to implement C wrapper for
both TDCALL and SEAMCALL.
