Use imperative mood to describe what you're doing, e.g. the "if" leaves the
reader wonder whether it's a suggestion or what the patch is actually doing.

E.g. something like

  Move the initialization of an enclave's allowed attributes_mask to
  sgx_open() to allow the ENCLAVE_PROVISION ioctl() to be invoked before
  ENCLAVE_CREATE.

Probably don't need a newline before SGX_ATTR_KSS.  In fact, I wouldn't be
surprised if Boris explicitly requested letting the original code go past 80
chars to improve readability.  Either way, with a cleaned up changelog:
