That'd be a ridiculous sort of circular-DRM move that helps nobody, so, no.

One of the primary use cases for this technology is cloud computing. Amazon, Google, etc are all quite capable of patching such checks out of the kernel if they want to use SGX. All it'd do is annoy a few engineers at these companies. Likewise, for deployments on the client, it's really only the Microsoft and Apple kernel devs that matter given the Linux communities tiny desktop market share, and I don't see why they would do that.
