It took me a minute to figure out what this was trying to say. Maybe
breaking it down into these three steps would help:

Add a test that:
(1) Creates an SGX enclave page with writable EPCM permission
(2) Changes the PTE permission on the page to read-only. This should
be permitted because the permission does not exceed the EPCM
permission.
(3) Attempts a write to the page and generate a page fault (#PF)
because of the read-only PTE.
