Once I started to thinking more about this I realized that this can be
shrunk even further. I can drop the list field and use a tag for loaded
pages in the radix tree where these are stored. The end result would be

struct sgx_encl_page {
unsigned long addr;
union {
void *epc_page;
struct sgx_va_page *va_page;
};
};
