The loader is implemented by the enclave device. If it wishes to support
bzImage and ELF it does that. Today, it only does bzImage though IIRC :).
So yes, they are decoupled? Are you saying you would like to build your
own code in any way you like? Well, that means we either need to add
support for another loader in the enclave device or your workloads just
fakes a bzImage header and gets loaded regardless :).
