Do we really need a full-blown user-visible option here? If we, for instance, just did:
config UNACCEPTED_MEMORY bool depends on EFI_STUB
it could be 'select'ed from the TDX Kconfig and no users would ever be bothered with it. Would a user *ever* turn this on if they don't have TDX (or equivalent)?
