It's just to make this series runnable. It will be updated by script

        scripts/update-linux-headers.sh

once TDX support is upstreamed in linux kernel.

I saw a bunch of TDX support merged in 5.19:

commit 3a755ebcc2557e22b895b8976257f682c653db1d
Merge: 5b828263b180 c796f02162e4
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Mon May 23 17:51:12 2022 -0700

     Merge tag 'x86_tdx_for_v5.19_rc1' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull Intel TDX support from Borislav Petkov:
      "Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) support.
This is the Intel version of a confidential computing solution called
       Trust Domain Extensions (TDX). This series adds support to run the
       kernel as part of a TDX guest. It provides similar guest protections
       to AMD's SEV-SNP like guest memory and register state encryption,
       memory integrity protection and a lot more.
Design-wise, it differs from AMD's solution considerably: it uses a
       software module which runs in a special CPU mode called (Secure
       Arbitration Mode) SEAM. As the name suggests, this module serves as
       sort of an arbiter which the confidential guest calls for services it
       needs during its lifetime.
Just like AMD's SNP set, this series reworks and streamlines certain
       parts of x86 arch code so that this feature can be properly
       accomodated"


Is that sufficient for this patch, or is there more pending out of
tree that QEMU still depends on ?

That's TDX guest support, i.e., running Liunx as TDX guest OS.

What QEMU needs is TDX KVM support and that hasn't been merged yet.

With regards,
Daniel
