Perhaps this change is needed even without patch 2?

This is because when CPUID 0xD doesn't exist, guest_supported_xcr0 is 0. But
when CPUID 0xD doesn't exist, IIUC currently KVM doesn't clear SGX in CPUID, and
sgx_12_1->ecx is always set to 0x3.  

__handle_encls_ereate() doesn't check CPUID 0xD either, so w/o above explicit
check xfrm against guest_supported_xcr0, it seems guest can successfully run
ECREATE when it doesn't have CPUID 0xD?
