I'm not sure what "security-speak" is but lets try plain English and
see where we get from there.

The proposed LSM hooks give the granularity to make yes/no decision
based on the

* The origin of the source of the source for the enclave.
* The requested permissions for the added or mapped peage.

The hooks to do these checks are provided for mmap() and EADD
operations.

With just file permissions you can still limit mmap() by having a
privileged process to build the enclaves and pass the file descriptor
to the enclave user who can mmap() the enclave within the constraints
set by the enclave pages (their permissions refine the roof that you
can mmap() any memory range within an enclave).
