Memory access #VEs are hard for Linux to handle in contexts like the entry code or NMIs. But other OSes need them for functionality. There's a static (pre-guest-boot) way for a VMM to choose one or the other. But VMMs don't always know which OS they are booting, so they choose to deliver those #VEs so the "other" OSes will work. That, unfortunately has left us in the lurch and exposed to these hard-to-handle #VEs.

The TDX module has introduced a new feature. Even if the static configuration is set to "send nasty #VEs", the kernel can dynamically request that they be disabled. Once they are disabled, access to private memory that is not in the Mapped state in the Secure-EPT (SEPT) will result in an exit to the VMM rather than injecting a #VE.

Check if the feature is available and disable SEPT #VE if possible.

If the TD is allowed to disable/enable SEPT #VEs, the ATTR_SEPT_VE_DISABLE attribute is no longer reliable. It reflects the initial state of the control for the TD, but it will not be updated if someone (e.g. bootloader) changes it before the kernel starts. Kernel must check TDCS_TD_CTLS bit to determine if SEPT #VEs are enabled or disabled.
