Nit: it is better to use SZ_2M or PMD_SIZE consistently.

e.g., patch 2 uses PMD_SIZE:
 
+atomic_t *tdx_get_pamt_refcount(unsigned long hpa)
+{
+	return &pamt_refcounts[hpa / PMD_SIZE];
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(tdx_get_pamt_refcount);

IIUC, this chunk is needed because tdx_pamt_put() decreases the refcount
without holding the pamt_lock. Why not move that decrease inside the lock?

And I suggest that all accesses to the pamt_refcount should be performed with
the pamt_lock held. This can make the code much clearer. It's similar to how
kvm_usage_count is managed, where transitions from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 require
extra work, but other cases simply increases or decreases the refcount.
