The amount of SGX memory on the system is determined by the BIOS and it
varies wildly between systems.  It can be from dozens of MB's on desktops
or VM's, up to many GB's on servers.  Just like for regular memory, it is
sometimes useful to know the amount of usable SGX memory in the system.

Add SGX_MemTotal field to /proc/meminfo, which shows the total amount of
usable SGX memory in the system.  E.g. with 32 MB reserved for SGX from
BIOS, the printout would be:

SGX_MemTotal:      22528 kB

It is less than 32 MB because some of the space is reserved for Enclave
Page Cache Metadata (EPCM), which contains state variables for all the
pages in the Enclave Page Cache (EPC).  The latter contains the pages,
which applications can use to create enclaves.

EPC sections can be freed again in sgx_init() after they are successfully
initialized, when any further initialization fails (i.e. when fails to create
ksgxd, or fails to register /dev/sgx_provision).  In which case, I think
sgx_nr_all_pages should also be cleared.  But current sgx_init() seems doesn't
reset it.  Do you need to fix that too?
sgx_nr_all_pages tells just the total pages in the system, i.e. it's a constant.

Maybe a rename to "sgx_nr_total_pages" would be a good idea? Would match with
the meminfo field better too.

How about only include <asm/sgx.h> when CONFIG_X86_SGX is on, then you don't
have to do #ifdef CONFIG_X86_SGX changes to sgx.h?
Why do it that way instead of doing it once in sgx.h for every site that wants
to include the file?
