I think I actually suggested this sgx_arch.h split for SGX in the first
place.
I was reading the patches and I had a really hard time separating the
hardware and software structures. There would be a 'struct sgx_foo {}'
and some chit chat about what it did... and I still had no idea if it
was an architectural structure or not.
This way, it's 100% crystal clear what Linux is defining and what the
hardware defines from the diff context.
