Some documents that listed on subsystem-apis have 'Linux' or 'The Linux'
title prefixes. It's duplicated information, and makes finding the
document of interest with human eyes not easy. Remove the prefixes from
the titles.

TDX guest driver exposes IOCTL interfaces to service TDX guest
user-specific requests. Currently, it is only used to allow the user to
get the TDREPORT to support TDX attestation.
Details about the TDX attestation process are documented in
Documentation/x86/tdx.rst, and the IOCTL details are documented in
Documentation/virt/coco/tdx-guest.rst.
Operations like getting TDREPORT involves sending a blob of data as
input and getting another blob of data as output. It was considered
to use a sysfs interface for this, but it doesn't fit well into the
standard sysfs model for configuring values. It would be possible to
do read/write on files, but it would need multiple file descriptors,
which would be somewhat messy. IOCTLs seem to be the best fitting
and simplest model for this use case. The AMD sev-guest driver also
uses the IOCTL interface to support attestation.

The SEV-SNP specification provides the guest a mechanism to communicate
with the PSP without risk from a malicious hypervisor who wishes to
read, alter, drop or replay the messages sent. The driver uses
snp_issue_guest_request() to issue GHCB SNP_GUEST_REQUEST or
SNP_EXT_GUEST_REQUEST NAE events to submit the request to PSP.
The PSP requires that all communication should be encrypted using key
specified through a struct snp_guest_platform_data descriptor.
Userspace can use SNP_GET_REPORT ioctl() to query the guest attestation
report.
See SEV-SNP spec section Guest Messages for more details.

Due to some merge conflict, this file ended being alone under
Documentation/virtual.
The file itself is almost at ReST format. Just minor
adjustments are needed:
- Adjust title markup;
- Adjust a list identation;
- add a literal block markup;
- Add some blank lines.

Despite being an old document, it contains lots of information
that could still be useful.
The document has a nice style with makes easy to convert to
ReST. So, let's convert it to ReST.
This patch does:
- Use proper markups for titles;
- Mark and proper indent literal blocks;
- don't use an 'o' character for lists;
- other minor changes required for the doc to be parsed.

Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the
grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as
a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt,
as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation
to match that.
