I don't have preference on name.  I just think if there's no actual user of
EPC (when both driver and KVM SGX cannot be enabled), it's pointless to print
number of EPC pages.

Just my preference.  You only need sgx_nr_all_pages here, while <asm/sgx.h>
has bunch of others such as SGX data structures.  It seems it's not worth to
include <asm/sgx.h> directly.
