TDX guests cannot do port I/O directly. The TDX module triggers a #VE exception to let the guest kernel emulate port I/O by converting them into TDCALLs to call the host. But before IDT handlers are set up, port I/O cannot be emulated using normal kernel #VE handlers. To support the #VE-based emulation during this boot window, add a minimal early #VE handler support in early exception handlers. This is similar to what AMD SEV does. This is mainly to support earlyprintk's serial driver, as well as potentially the VGA driver. The early handler only supports I/O-related #VE exceptions. Unhandled or failed exceptions will be handled via early_fixup_exceptions() (like normal exception failures). At runtime I/O-related #VE exceptions (along with other types) handled by virt_exception_kernel().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
