In preparation for sharing MMIO instruction decode between SEV-ES and TDX, factor out the common decode into a new insn_decode_mmio() helper. For regular virtual machine, MMIO is handled by the VMM and KVM emulates instructions that caused MMIO. But, this model doesn't work for a secure VMs (like SEV or TDX) as VMM doesn't have access to the guest memory and register state. So, for TDX or SEV VMM needs assistance in handling MMIO. It induces exception in the guest. Guest has to decode the instruction and handle it on its own. The code is based on the current SEV MMIO implementation. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

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.
