Yay! A new memory manager in arch-specific code.

What does a "subsystem that uses SGX" mean? Do we have one of those
already?

This is a hardware structure, right? Doesn't it need to be packed?

Would it be possible to separate out the SGX software structures from
SGX hardware? It's hard to tell them apart.

Hmmm, global atomic. Doesn't sound very scalable.

Hmmm, global spinlock protecting a page allocator linked list. Sounds
even worse than at atomic.

Justifying the design decisions is great for changelogs, not so great
for comments. Also, looking at this, I have no idea what this has to do
with the "enclave page cache".

This is rather free of comments or explanation of what this is doing,

This is also gloriously free of any superfluous comments. Could you fix
that?

What's a bank? How many banks does a system have?

Why is a semaphore getting used here? I don't see any sleeping or
anything happening under this lock.

"active" pages in the VM are allocated/in-use pages. This doesn't look
to be using the same terminology.

What's the schedule trying to do? Is this the equivalent of "direct
reclaim"? Why do we need this in addition to the ksgxswapd?

bank->lock confuses me. This seems to be writing to a bank, but only
needs a read lock. Why?

This is odd. Do you really want to detect 64-bit, or CONFIG_HIGHMEM?

What does shmem have to do with all this?

I'm not a big fan of stuff getting added with no apparent user and no
explaination of what it is doing. There's no way for me to assess
whether this is sane or not.

This is also rather sparsely commented.

I'm baffled why lc_enabled is connected to the enclave page cache.
