The SDM says there are 6 leaf functions added with SGX2 (SDM Vol 3D
Table 36-2):

ENCLS[EAUG]
ENCLS[EMODPR]
ENCLS[EMODT]
ENCLU[EACCEPT]
ENCLU[EMODPE]
ENCLU[EACCEPTCOPY]

But I don't see *ANY* of those in use in this patch set.  I know we
added a bunch of infrastructure around mitigating if EMODPE got *used*,
but does the kernel need to change its behavior if SGX1 vs. SGX2 is
supported?

BTW, the SG2 bit is defined:

	Bit 01: SGX2. If 1, Indicates Intel SGX supports the collection
	of SGX2 leaf functions.

which makes me think it's for leaf functions only.
