The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

and use the new ID as fresh randomness added to the entropy pool. This
commits emits a uevent every time we receive the ACPI notification, as a

Ever since the eventfd type was introduced back in 2007 in commit
e1ad7468c77d ("signal/timer/event: eventfd core") the eventfd_signal()
function only ever passed 1 as a value for @n. There's no point in
keeping that additional argument.

Pull unified attestation reporting from Dan Williams:
 "In an ideal world there would be a cross-vendor standard attestation
  report format for confidential guests along with a common device
  definition to act as the transport.

  In the real world the situation ended up with multiple platform
  vendors inventing their own attestation report formats with the
  SEV-SNP implementation being a first mover to define a custom
  sev-guest character device and corresponding ioctl(). Later, this
  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
  to resolve anytime soon. It also takes the position that kernfs ABIs
  are easier to maintain than ioctl(). The result is a shared configfs
  mechanism to return per-vendor report-blobs with the option to later
  support a standard when that arrives.

  Part of the goal here also is to get the community into the
  "uncomfortable, but beneficial to the long term maintainability of the
  kernel" state of talking to each other about their differentiation and
  opportunities to collaborate. Think of this like the device-driver
  equivalent of the common memory-management infrastructure for
  confidential-computing being built up in KVM.

  As for establishing an "upstream path for cross-vendor
  confidential-computing device driver infrastructure" this is something
  I want to discuss at Plumbers. At present, the multiple vendor
  proposals for assigning devices to confidential computing VMs likely
  needs a new dedicated repository and maintainer team, but that is a
  discussion for v6.8.

  For now, Greg and Thomas have acked this approach and this is passing
  is AMD, Intel, and Google tests.

  Summary:

   - Introduce configfs-tsm as a shared ABI for confidential computing
     attestation reports

   - Convert sev-guest to additionally support configfs-tsm alongside
     its vendor specific ioctl()

   - Added signed attestation report retrieval to the tdx-guest driver
     forgoing a new vendor specific ioctl()

   - Misc cleanups and a new __free() annotation for kvfree()"
