  vendors inventing their own attestation report formats with the
  SEV-SNP implementation being a first mover to define a custom

  configfs-tsm proposal intercepted an attempt to add a tdx-guest
  character device and a corresponding new ioctl(). It also anticipated
  ARM and RISC-V showing up with more chardevs and more ioctls().

  The proposal takes for granted that Linux tolerates the vendor report
  format differentiation until a standard arrives. From talking with
  folks involved, it sounds like that standardization work is unlikely
