I'm otherwise cool with that, except patch #2.

It's based on this series:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/20210113233541.17669-1-jarkko@kernel.org/

It's not reasonable to create driver specific wrapper for
sgx_free_epc_page() because there is exactly *2* call sites of the function
in the driver. The driver contains 10 call sites (11 after my NUMA patches
have been applied) of sgx_free_epc_page() in total.

Instead, it is better to add explicit EREMOVE to those call sites.

The wrapper only trashes the codebase. I'm not happy with it, given all the
trouble to make it clean and sound.
