That's the status quo for the differences between TDX vs SEV
(tsm_report_default_type vs tsm_report_extra_type). I think a
"tsm_report_service_type " can be a new superset of
tsm_report_extra_type. That that just starts to get messy if
implementations start to pick and choose on a finer granularity what
they support. For example, what if TDX supports these new service
attributes, but not privlevel.

It seems straightforward to add an is_visible() callback to
'struct configfs_item_operations'. Then a common superset of all the
attributes could be specified, but with an is_visible() implementation
that consults with data registered with tsm_register() rather than the
@type argument directly.

If it is the same format, and the input is user controlled then I am
confused what the new ABI is selecting? Could it not be inferred by
privlevel?

Can the version be made to not matter, or be inferred by the presence of
a new enumerated service capability? For example, make the same compat
guarantees that ACPI methods do between versions where extensions are
optional and software can always use v1 without breaking? Otherwise, I
am not grokking what software should do with this version.

Separately, is this a version for the service protocol or a version of
the manifest format? The description makes it sound like the latter, but
the "service_version" name makes it sound like the former.
