Sean, is this why you wanted enclave fd and anon inode and not just use
the address space of /dev/sgx? Just taking notes of all observations.
I'm not sure what your rationale was (maybe it was somewhere). This was
something I made up, and this one is wrong deduction. You can easily
get the same benefit with /dev/sgx associated fd representing the
enclave.

This all means that for v19 I'm going without enclave fd involved with
fd to /dev/sgx representing the enclave. No anon inodes will be
involved.
