Subject: [PATCH RFC v2] x86/sgx: Add a read-only sysctl attribute kernel.sgx.total_mem

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. Introduce a read-only sysctl attribute kernel.sgx_total_mem,
which provides the amount of EPC memory available in the system.

The primary use case for this attribute are stress tests.

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.

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

Using a sysctl attribute makes most sense, given that its meaning is
shared with the SGX driver and KVM. It must be available even when the
driver is disabled.
