We *can* have also epc_page->node by:

- Considering the first section as the EPC of that node.
- Printing a warning if more sections hit the same node, and
  ignoring them.
- Merging sgx_numa_node and sgx_epc_section

I think this would be a decent idea. I think it's a sane assumption that
a node has a single EPC section, but it's good to have that warning just
in case.

I did not want to do this into this version because it's faster for me
to refactor into this assumption than revert back.
