So what registers are actually clobbered by SEAMCALL ? There's a
distinct lack of it in SDM Vol.2 instruction list :-(

This is all pretty atrocious code flow... would it at all be possible to
write it like:

SYM_FUNC_START(...)

.if \host
1: seamcall
cmovc %spare, %rax
2:
.else
tdcall
.endif

.....
RET


3:
mov $TDX_SW_ERROR, %r12
orq %r12, %rax
jmp 2b

_ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT(1b, 3b)

SYM_FUNC_END()

That is, having all that inline in the hotpath is quite horrific.
