I think what it needs, based on what I've read, is the step by step
description of the EMODPE scenarion without this callback and with it.

I think other important thing to underline is that an LSM or any other
security measure can only do a sane decision when the enclave is loaded.
At that point we know the source (vm_file).

I.e. when you are doing mmap() or mprotect() you don't have that
information. The permissions kind of describe the contact made at that
point of time.

Of course.
