This is considered when implement patch 5, but you remind me that I
should add the materials to describe the handling of SGX system leaf
functions in the chagelog.

Yes, support LAM inside SGX enclave is not included in the inital

For this part, I need furtuer investigation.
Will get back to you when I get the answer.
