Huang, Kai Feb. 8, 2021, 10:54 a.m. UTC
Modify sgx_init() to always try to initialize the virtual EPC driver,
even if the SGX driver is disabled.  The SGX driver might be disabled
if SGX Launch Control is in locked mode, or not supported in the
hardware at all.  This allows (non-Linux) guests that support non-LC
configurations to use SGX.

v3->v4:

 - Added comment to explain virtual EPC driver can be supported in both cases
   that SGX driver is not supported, or failed to initialize, per Dave and
   Jarkko.
 - Removed "virt.h" inclusion since it was removed in previous patch, per Dave.

v2->v3:

 - Changed from sgx_virt_epc_init() to sgx_vepc_init().
