WBINVD and PCONFIG need to be implemented (PCONFIG can be a stub).

Service needs to be implemented and return Unsupported (0xFFFFFFFE)
for all services.

These two need to be supported by userspace and one could say that
(therefore) GetTdVmCallInfo would also have to be implemented by
userspace. This probably is a good idea in general to leave the door
open to more GetTdVmCallInfo leaves.

In order to make it easy for userspace to implement GetQuote, it would
be nice to have a status for Unsupported
listed for GetQuote, because they need to add it anyway for future tdvcalls

SetupEventNotifyInterrupt can be a stub if GetQuote is unsupported;
therefore it's also trivial for userspace to implement it if the specs
adds the "unsupported" return code for GetQuote.

I agree that both of these are independently useful, the main action
item for KVM being to move TdVmCallInfo to userspace and add support
for the other two userspace TDCALLs.

Adding WBINVD/PCONFIG/Service is also something that has to be done,
but less urgent since nobody is using them.
