I can't think of a *lot* of spots where we have sanity checks like this
for memory.  We have cgroups and the overcommit limits.  But, in
general, folks can allocate as much memory as they want until
allocations start to fail.

Should SGX be any different?

If we had a sanity check that said, "you can only allocate 1/2 of
enclave memory", wouldn't that just make somebody mad because they want
one big enclave?

Or, do you just want a sanity check to see if, up front, the user is
asking for more enclave memory than there is on the *whole* system?
That's also sane, but it doesn't take overcommit into account.  That's
why, for instance, we have vm.overcommit_ratio for normal memory.

BTW, I think we all agree that a cgroup controller for enclave memory is
going to be needed eventually.
