** Description changed:

  Intel Confidential Computing (Intel TDX) is now available with Questing 25.10
  components : kernel and qemu.
  
  While we can boot a Intel confidential VM (TD - Trust Domain) with
  the EDK2 default OVMF.fd (config: OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc), there are
  2 drawbacks:
  
  - default OVMF.fd has several security limitations for Intel TDX [1].
  
  - secure boot is not enabled since TDX VM does not allow to use -pflash with 
QEMU
    for the UEFI vars that contains the necessary certificates for secure boot.
  
  To address these 2 limitations:
  
  1) we can build a customized OVMF file as we already did for AMD-SEV (LP: 
#2106771)
     the config file is OvmfPkg/IntelTdx/IntelTdxX64.dsc.
-    We will name the OVMF file as OVMF.tdx.fd
+    We will name the OVMF file as OVMF.inteltdx.fd
  
  2) we enable secure boot for this firmware : -DSECURE_BOOT_ENABLE=TRUE
  
- 3) we copy the necessary certificates from OVMF_VARS_4M.ms.fd over to
- the OVMF.tdx.fd
+ 3) we create a variant image named OVMF.tdxintel.secboot.fd with the
+ certificates we copy over from OVMF_VARS_4M.ms.fd to enable secure boot.
  
- Since we are delivering a new OVMF file, the regression risk is
+ Since we are delivering a new OVMF images, the regression risk is
  minimized.
