I thought that we need some place to explicitly see the TDX ABI
definition - what are the inputs the host should provide to the module.

The addon_features0 is the *option* the host should provide to the
module according to the ABI. The global, static value for addon_features0
is Linux's policy. So if we need to explicit the policy by the code,
this helper and its arguments are good places to show the boundary.

But yes it does add boilerplate to the code, I can drop it.
