VM guests that supports ACPI, use standard ACPI mechanisms to signal
sleep state entry (including reboot) to the host. The ACPI
specification mandates WBINVD on any sleep state entry with the
expectation that the platform is only responsible for maintaining the
state of memory over sleep states, not preserving dirty data in any
CPU caches. ACPI cache flushing requirements pre-date the advent of
virtualization. Given guest sleep state entry does not affect any
host power rails it is not required to flush caches. The host is
responsible for maintaining cache state over its own bare metal sleep
state transitions that power-off the cache. A TDX guest, unlike a
typical guest, will machine check if the CPU cache is powered off.
