Yes, enforced by hardware during EINIT.

No, the field has no real meaning or value, and there is no (and never was
any) intent to use it to create an OEM registry or anything of that nature.

It's effectively a reserved-0 field that happens to allow 0x8086 because of
legacy behavior within Intel's signing sytem.  Intel signed enclaves
currently populate it with 0x8086, but future enclaves may change the vendor
to 0x0 just to avoid confusion.  In short, software should ignore the field.
