I was talking about calling sgx_record_epc_page() for SECS/VA:

@@ -113,6 +113,9 @@ static int sgx_encl_create(struct sgx_encl *encl, struct
sgx_secs *secs)
 	encl->attributes = secs->attributes;
 	encl->attributes_mask = SGX_ATTR_UNPRIV_MASK;
 
+	sgx_record_epc_page(encl->secs.epc_page,
+			    SGX_EPC_PAGE_UNRECLAIMABLE);

This piece of code *literally* does the record.
