I don't really like all these special cases. Generically, what you're
trying to do is (AFAICT) to get the kernel to run in a mode in which
it does its best not to trust attached devices. Nothing about this is
specific to Secure Launch. There are plenty of scenarios in which
this the case:

- Virtual devices in a VM host outside the TCB, e.g. VDUSE, Xen
device domains (did I get the name right), whatever tricks QEMU has,
etc.
- SRTM / DRTM technologies (including but not limited to Secure
Launch -- plain old Secure Boot can work like this too).
- Secure guest technologies, including but not limited to TDX and SEV.
- Any computer with a USB-C port or other external DMA-capable port.
- Regular computers in which the admin wants to enable this mode for
whatever reason.

Can you folks all please agree on a coordinated way for a Linux kernel
to configure itself appropriately? Or to be configured via initramfs,
boot option, or some other trusted source of configuration supplied at
boot time? We don't need a whole bunch of if (TDX), if (SEV), if
(secure launch), if (I have a USB-C port with PCIe exposed), if
(running on Xen), and similar checks all over the place.
