Direct HLT instruction execution causes #VEs for TDX VMs which is routed to hypervisor via TDCALL. safe_halt() routines execute HLT in STI-shadow so IRQs need to remain disabled until the TDCALL to ensure that pending IRQs are correctly treated as wake events. So "sti;hlt" sequence needs to be replaced with "TDCALL; raw_local_irq_enable()" for TDX VMs.
Commit bfe6ed0c6727 ("x86/tdx: Add HLT support for TDX guests") prevented the idle routines from using "sti;hlt". But it missed the paravirt routine which can be reached like this as an example: acpi_safe_halt() => raw_safe_halt() => arch_safe_halt() => irq.safe_halt() => pv_native_safe_halt()
Modify tdx_safe_halt() to implement the sequence "TDCALL; raw_local_irq_enable()" and invoke tdx_halt() from idle routine which just executes TDCALL without changing state of interrupts. Introduce dependency on CONFIG_PARAVIRT and override paravirt halt()/safe_halt() routines for TDX VMs.

The last sentence is somewhat confusing.
Maybe drop it and add explanation that #VE handler doesn't have info about STI shadow, enables interrupts before TDCALL which can lead to missed wakeup events.

What is justification for raw_? Why local_irq_enable() is not enough?
To very least, it has to be explained.

Ack, will fix it in the next version.

Let me replace it with a more suitable arch specific <>_irq_enable() function in the next version. Intention here is to just enable interrupts.
