No, it was a holdover from doing fixup via a magic prefix in user code.
The fixup could only skip the ENCLU and so a second ENCLU was needed to
differentiate between EENTER and ERESUME. The need for two ENCLUs got
ingrained in my head. I can't think of anything that will break if we
use a single ENCLU.

Doh. The ability to do ERESUME is an explicit requirement from the SDK
folks. More code that I pulled from my userspace implementation and
didn't revisit.

For the outbound path? I was thinking @priv would be used for passing
data out as well as in.
