(maintainer hat firmly in place, not speaking as an Intel person here...)

Let's say Intel tires of SGX and zaps it from server CPUs just like it
did clients. Or, that Intel decides that TDX is really cool and wants
it on SGX-free clients in addition to servers.

Can the guest ABI which is introduced here work for a future attestation
architecture that does not involve SGX?
