The problems are:

1. SGX enclave memory (EPC) is statically allocated at boot and can't
   grow or shrink
2. EPC is much smaller than regular RAM
3. The core VM has no comprehension of EPC use, thus can not help
   with its algorithms, like the LRU
4. The SGX driver implements its own VM which is substantially simpler
   than the core VM, but less feature-rich, fast, or scalable
