Disallowing mmap() is not only surprising but also unnecessary.

A bit off topic here. This mmap()/mprotect() discussion reminds me a question (guess for Jarkko): Now that vma->vm_file->private_data keeps a pointer to the enclave, why do we store it again in vma->vm_private? It isn't a big deal but non-NULL vm_private does prevent mprotect() from merging adjacent VMAs.
