generalizing the struct of KVM_MEM_ENC_OP should be the first step. The
final target should be generalizing a set of commands for confidential
VMs (SEV-* VMs and TDs, maybe even for other arches), e.g., the commands
to create a confidential VM and commands to live migration a
confidential VM.

However, there seems not small divergence between the commands to create
a SEV-* VM and TDX VMs. I'm not sure if it is worth investigating and
pursuing.
