There's also a lot of value to ensuring that tests can run _quickly_.
If you have a test that fails one out of a million executions, it's a
lot easier find and debug if it takes 1 ms versus 10 seconds.

In other words, I think I'd prefer if we run two enclaves in each
execution of the selftest.  One can be as small as possible.  The other
can be the reclaim-triggering one.

That's good both for test coverage, and it makes it a *bit* more
straightforward to hack out the reclaim test if you need things to run
faster.

The pkeys selftest isn't a bad example here either.  It has a couple of
different "malloc()" options: THP, hugetlbfs, small-page mmap(), and a
bunch of tests it runs on each type.  As we add more SGX tests, we might
end up with "do reclaim" just being an option we pass.
