Would it help if I worded it as "only root should ever be able to run an enclave with access to PROVISION_KEY"?

The userspace and attestation infrastructure is very concrete, i.e. the need for userspace to be able to access PROVISION_KEY is there, as is the desire to be able to restrict access to PROVISION_KEY, e.g. I believe Andy Lutomirski originally requested the ability to restrict access. The additional infrastructure for per-enclave decisions is somewhat orthogonal to the PROVISION_KEY, e.g. they won't necessarily be employed by everyone running enclaves, and environments that do have per-enclave policies would still likely want the extra layer of restriction for PROVISION_KEY. I only brought the additional policy crud to call out that we've done enough path-finding on additional restrictions to have strong confidence that adding /dev/sgx/provision won't prevent us from adding more fine grained control in the future. > So I'd leave that out from the initial patchset.
