Checkpatch complains here:

WARNING: 'SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause) WITH Linux-syscall-note */' is not supported in LICENSES/...
#114: FILE: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/sgx.h:1:

Also, you had all patches until now split nice and logically doing one
thing only.

But this one is huge. Why?

Why can't you split out the facilities which the driver uses: encl.[ch]
into a patch, then ioctl.c into a separate one and then the driver into
a third one? Or do they all belong together inseparably?

I guess I'll find out eventually but it would've been nice if they were
split out...
