Since netdev is copied it'd also be useful to give us a high level
intro into what pieces are involved. Assume we have heard about
SPDM/attestation in context of NIC FW but have little understanding of
x86 platform stuff. 

grep -i sdsi Documentation doesn't say much, the first Google result
for Intel On Demand reads like marketing fluff :(
