Will do.

Since as you suggested, enable_sgx_any will be removed, and initializing
enable_sgx_driver/kvm will be moved into the if () statement, I think we should
explicitly initialize them here. How about below?

bool enable_sgx_kvm = enable_sgx_driver = false;
bool tboot = tboot_enabled();
bool enable_vmx;
...

Thanks. Will do.
