OK, I now I got it, apologies it took such a long time :-)

Now I see the analogy e.g. qemu creates independently VMAs and then
fuels those regions to KVM. Similarly qemu would create regions for
KVM using "/dev/sgx/mem".

For me this is perfectly fine now I understand the reasoning and neither
does make my job more difficult to implement the file based enclave
change.

Thanks for the patience with this...
