When an enclave is quiesced from the ENC panel, document in the syslog what tasks and parent tasks are quiesced.

Today, if you quiesce an enclave, there is no auditing information injected into the syslog as to the tasks being quiesced.  More importantly, it's parent task is not documented in the syslog.

    Although a WLM service is invoked when the state of an enclave is changed from the ENC panel, the result of the service invocation is completely handled by the invoker (here SDSF), and displayed in detail on the ENC panel. There you can see, among other information, the enclave's status, its service class, its subsystem type, and its owner address space (i.e., its parent task). But neither WLM nor SDSF as the invoker have any insight into the purpose of an enclave in the context of the owning application. Enclaves and their related TCBs and SRBs do not have meaningful printable names, a SYSLOG message would read like e.g. "IEExxxI 3400000019 ENCLAVE RESET" which would be of little use for auditing. A meaningful display and evaluation can only be done in the context of the owning application.
