Don't do this crazy ifdef thing.  si_codes are not supposed to be per
architecture.  There are a few historical bugs but with a 32bit space
it is just stupid to add #ifdefs.

Just set.
#define SEGV_SGXERR 8 and increase NSIGSEGV

Anything else is just asking for trouble.  Especially when you want to
get SGX working on itaninum.
