Yes there are discussions about the TDVF (Trust Domain Virtual Firmware).
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/83283616#76022
The design slides and recorded meeting are in below link:

TDVF has 2 Config for upstream. See https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/76367
Config-A merge the *basic* TDVF features to existing OvmfX64Pkg.dsc. (Align 
with existing SEV).
OvmfX64Pkg.dsc includes SEV/TDX/normal OVMF basic boot capability. The final 
binary can run on SEV/TDX/normal OVMF
So we have to probe the Td guest in run-time and switch to the corresponding 
I/O routine.
The solution of using a separate firmware binary is not feasible in this 
situation.

Thanks.
