Is that really even relevant?

I mean, we could implement the whole thing with get_user_pages() and
then just pass the physical address of the reportdata and tdreport down
to the TDX module.

It doesn't matter either way.  The data is going from guest userspace to
the guest kernel to the TDX module, all of which are trusted.

It's a selftest.  I'd just leave it alone.
