You mean before the guest ia created? I sure hope there's a better way to query HV-supported features than grepping /proc/cpuinfo...

Question is, what exactly that flag should denote: that EDMM is supported in the HV and guests can do the dynamic thing of adding/rwmoving EPC pages? Is that the only feature behind SGX2?

See what I typed earlier - no objections from me if a proper use case is identified and written down.
Thx. -- Sent from a small device: formatting sux and brevity is inevitable.
