Many thanks, Jarkko!
It's really a good idea.

Actually I've ever considered re-using struct sgx_encl_page, but in such
case we just use the field 'desc', the others four fields are useless.
Which means a virtual EPC page will have 32 bytes additional memory
consumption outside of VM.

Repurpose the "owner" field of struct sgx_epc_page now looks the best idea,
there is no extra memory consumption and the code changes are more brief
than before :-)

I'll send v3 after testing.

Thanks for your review, Kai.
