Create /sys/kernel/debug/x86/sgx_total_mem, after the driver is
initialized, describing the total amount of SGX reserved memory (also known
as Enclave Page Cache (EPC)) available in the system.

This can be used to implement stress that trigger the page reclaimer, and
it is probably useful information when admistering a system running
enclaves anyhow.

How about this as a rewrite?

Just like normal memory, SGX memory can be overcommitted.  SGX has its
own reclaim mechanism which kicks in when physical SGX memory (Enclave
Page Cache / EPC) is exhausted.  That reclaim mechanism is relatively
rarely exercised and needs selftests to poke at it.

The amount of EPC on the system is determined by the BIOS and it varies
wildly between systems.  It can be dozens of MB on desktops, or many GB
on servers.

To run in a reasonable amount of time, the selftest needs to know how
much EPC there is in the system.

Introduce a new debugfs file to export that information.

	^ memory

It would also be nice to say what the units are here, even if they are
bytes.

Assuming the new changelog is adopted and typos fixed:

Thanks, I'll commit these changes and include to the next version.
