Just delete it from the changelog. It's a distraction. I'm not even
sure it's *necessary* to do any memory content conversion after the TDX
module has written gunk.

There won't be any integrity issues because integrity errors don't do
anything for KeyID-0 (no #MC).

I _think_ the reads of the page using KeyID-0 will see abort page
semantics. That's *FINE*.
