Ah, ok.

Returning zero is right thing to do because it also returns count of
pages successfully added. I.e. the function does not guarantee that
all pages are processsed but it does guarantee that the system is in
predictable state.

It could be that e.g. sgx_alloc_epc_page() calls fails.

So, it is a bit like how read system call works.
