There is no "entry point" per se. You prepopulate at target bzImage into 
the enclave memory on boot which then follows the standard boot 
protocol. Everything before that (enclave firmware, etc.) is provided by 
the enclave environment.

Think of it like a mechanism to launch a second QEMU instance on the 
host, but all you can actually control are the -smp, -m, -kernel and 
-initrd parameters. The only I/O channel you have between your VM and 
that new VM is a vsock channel which is configured by the host on your 
behalf.
