Nit: I don't think tested-by is in the right patch here. Maybe
Haitao's tested-by should be moved into patch that actually adds
support for EAUG? Not something I would NAK this patch, just
wondering...

Yes, that is a good point. While this is the bulk of the fix where
the new API is introduced, the test is only applicable when this API
is used and that is in "x86/sgx: Support adding of pages to an
initialized enclave". I will move the "Tested-by" to that patch.
