  Igor, Sorry for delay feedback because of Chinese New Year holiday.

  This series patches are to fix below issues I reported before,
  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-11/msg05670.html

  Since the /machine/unattached/device[0] is used by vcpu and Libvirt
  use this interface to get unavailable-features list. But in the SGX
  VM, the device[0] will be occupied by virtual sgx epc device, Libvirt
  can't get unavailable-features from this device[0].

  Although patch 2 in this series already fixed "unavailable-features" issue,
  this patch can move sgx virtual device from /machine/unattached/device[nn]
  to /machine/sgx-epc[nn], which seems more clear. Thanks!
