This patch fixes the following warnings.

In file included from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:22:
arch/x86/include/asm/tdx.h:92:87: warning: shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow]
arch/x86/include/asm/tdx.h:20:21: note: expanded from macro 'TDX_ERROR'
#define TDX_ERROR _BITUL(63)

I think you trim the warning message. I don't see the actual user of the
define. Define itself will not generate the warning. You need to actually
use it outside of preprocessor. I don't understand who would use it in
32-bit code. Maybe fixing it this way masking other issue.

That said, I don't object the change itself. We just need to understand
the context more.

v18 used it as stub function. v19 dropped it as the stub was not needed.

Sorry I literally don't understand what you are talking about here.

Please just clarify (at least):

- Does this problem exist in upstream code?
- If it does, what is the root cause, and how to reproduce?
