The TDX guest support in the kernel isn't _actually_ related to this*.
It's the host-side support that matters and that isn't merged yet. I've
cc'd Kai so he doesn't forget to do this.

I agree on the SGX side, though.

* TDX guest support already has this dependency, but it's for unrelated
reasons:

config INTEL_TDX_GUEST
bool "Intel TDX (Trust Domain Extensions) - Guest Support"
depends on X86_64 && CPU_SUP_INTEL
depends on X86_X2APIC
