If I recall correctly, Sean said we can disable TDX guests if mmio_caching is
disabled (we also will need to change to allow enable_mmio_caching to still be
true when mmio_value is 0).

SEV_ES has similar logic:

void __init sev_hardware_setup(void)
{

...

/*
* SEV-ES requires MMIO caching as KVM doesn't have access to the guest
* instruction stream, i.e. can't emulate in response to a #NPF and
* instead relies on #NPF(RSVD) being reflected into the guest as #VC
* (the guest can then do a #VMGEXIT to request MMIO emulation).
*/
if (!enable_mmio_caching)
goto out;
