It's interesting to see, after 41 versions of the patchset, SGX was
finally upstreamed :).

I also noticed we already have some internal requests for enabling it,
but I'm not sure if it'll land hw-enablament or core-kernel space.

I would opt for setting it =y on both Fedora and RHEL, but I prefer to
hear more feedback on it.
