Title:
  [needs-packaging] Add package linux-sgx for Intel SGX support

Status in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in The Questing Quokka:

Bug description:
  SGX is a Intel CPU hardware feature that enabled the creation of
  execution enclaves. It leverages Intel® Total Memory Encryption –
  Multi-Key (TME-MK) to allow the enclaves memory to be encrypted and
  thus protected from all other code running on the CPU.

  Unfortunately, applications do not “just work” on SGX. SGX imposes a number of restrictions on enclave
  code that require application changes or a layer of indirection.

  This package introduces:
   - the SGX SDK : used to build SGX confidential applications/enclaces.
   - the SGX runtime that will allow SGX enclaves to run.

  This work is motivated by the support for another more recent and advanced Intel confidential
  computing technology : Intel TDX that is supported in 25.10 (Questing). Indeed, to achieve the
  quote generation for remote attestation, Intel TDX make use of an SGX enclave.
