Hi, Brijesh
Please see below explanation (It is in the commit message)
- In Main16 entry point, after TransitionFromReal16To32BitFlat,
   WORK_AREA_GUEST_TYPE is cleared to 0. WORK_AREA_GUEST_TYPE was
   previously cleared in SetCr3ForPageTables64 (see commit ab77b60).
   This doesn't work after TDX is introduced in Ovmf. It is because all
   TDX CPUs (BSP and APs) start to run from 0xfffffff0. In previous code
   WORK_AREA_GUEST_TYPE will be cleared multi-times in TDX guest. So for
   SEV and Legacy guest it is moved to Main16 entry point (after
   TransitionFromReal16To32BitFlat). For TDX guest WORK_AREA_GUEST_TYPE
   is cleared and set in InitTdxWorkarea
