Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

[Impact]

Microsoft has asked for the addition of 2 patches for TDX and SNP-SEV VM
support with HCL.

The refreshed patches will fix 2 bugs for future Hyper-V versions:
1) PCI DDA for Linux TDX VMs with HCL is not working due to a guest bug and a 
host bug. The guest bug is fixed in the mainline version of the TDX patches.
2) On a recent Hyper-V dev build that advertises the Hyper-V TLB flushing 
hypercalls, the current Ubuntu 6.2 kernel passes a shared input page to the 
Hyper-V while it should pass a private input page; as a result, the hypercall 
always fails and Linux now falls back to the legacy native method of flusing 
TLB. This slows down the flush-TLB operation . The mainline version doesn't 
have the bug.

[Test Plan]

Microsoft tested.

[Regression Potential]

Azure instances with TDX on HCL hypervisors may not work correctly.
