See __sgx_sanitize_pages() and the poison list there, for an example.

So if you do the list and still have the kernel raise a RMP fault for
those pages, traversing that list in the RMP handler to check whether
the page is there on it, should be a lot faster operation than doing the
#PF thing and removing them from the direct map.
And sorry for misleading you about UPM - we were thinking wrong
yesterday.
Thx.
