Ya, I'm on the fence as well. The only counter-argument is that doing: push %rbp mov %rsp, %rbp push %rbx ... pop %rbx leave ret with the relative adjustment would allow the exit handler (or enclave) to change %rbx. I'm not saying that is remote sane, but if we're going for maximum flexibility... Anyways, patches incoming, let's discuss there.
