I still feel this is confusing. SME is a host/bare-metal technology, so
calling protected_guest_has() seems odd and using VM_HOST_MEM_ENCRYPT,
where I assume VM is short for virtual machine, also seems odd.

How about just protected_os_has()? Then you could have
- HOST_MEM_ENCRYPT for host memory encryption
- GUEST_MEM_ENCRYPT for guest memory encryption
- MEM_ENCRYPT for either host or guest memory encryption.

The first is analogous to sme_active(), the second to sev_active() and the
third to mem_encrypt_active(). Just my opinion, though...

I don't think you want a WARN_ON_ONCE() here. The code will be written to
work with either SEV or TDX, so we shouldn't warn on a check for a TDX
supported feature when running on AMD (or vice-versa).

Thanks,
Tom
