Are there any other "page" types which are going to be figurating in
some pseudofs or is "sgx" == "epc" in this case?

Ok, let's keep it in debugfs for now, it can always be made an ABI later
and moved to sysfs. But pls document what those are and what they do and
that when in debugfs, there are no guarantees that these interfaces will
be there in the future.

Yes pls.

Thx.
