I don't think that Intel SGX belongs into <launchSecurity> in libvirt.
Similar feature to AMD SEV is Intel TDX which would be implement using
<launchSecurity> as it offers isolation between host and VM.
Looking at the patches this doesn't even use confidential-guest-support machine
option, it adds a new memory backend and enables CPU features only if libvirt
uses <cpu mode='custom'> so it would not work with any other CPU mode.
To me this sounds like we should split the feature into two components where
one would add support for the new memory backend into correct XML part [1]
and the other component would be support for CPU features related to Intel
SGX [2].
[Haibin] ok, those specific CPU features we added have been deleted and
let user to specify it in [2].
Do we need to add new element in memory backend for SGX EPC memory?
