One other high-level thing we should probably mention: Building and
running enclaves is a pain.  It's traditionally required a big SDK from
Intel or a big software stack from *somebody* else.

This adds features like threads to the SGX selftest which are
traditionally implemented in that big software stack.  This is a *good*
thing since it helps test SGX kernel support with only code from the
kernel tree.

This is similar to what we did with MPX, which also typically required a
big toolchain outside of the kernel.  Despite MPX's demise, I think this
approach worked well, and I'm happy to see it replicated here.

Feel free to add my ack on the real (non-stub) patches in the series:
