+=====================================
+
+SGX_MemTotal
+                Total usable physical SGX memory, also known as Enclave
+                Page Cache (EPC), in kB's. This is the physical memory
+                used for enclave pages. It is below the amount set in
+                the BIOS: a portion of that memory is required for
+                the state of the enclave pages.
