Hi all,

I've been producing Fedora 32 kernel builds with the SGX patches applied 
for a few of weeks and I've just produced a build with this latest 
revision[1]. We've been using these kernels to enable SGX for some of 
our development/test machines.

We wanted to offer them here in the hopes that others might find them 
useful for testing the SGX patchsets on their own machines to send 
feedback to this list. Please note that these are *not* meant to replace 
your distro kernel and these are for testing purposes only.

I'll continue to upload builds to a Fedora Copr[2] as long as the 
patches continue to apply cleanly to the Fedora kernels.

Best,

Connor
