Hi Dr.Greg,

Thanks for your great job! I have a question about how do you work out
psw for
non-flc platforms?

The background is that we (inclavare containers project:
https://github.com/alibaba/inclavare-containers)
also attempt to resolve the conflict between non-flc platform and sgx
in-tree driver.
Our work is available at
https://github.com/alibaba/inclavare-containers/tree/master/hack/no-sgx-flc

In addition, I compare the different parts between us for non-flc
support part:
- Use different ioctl cmd to support init-token ioctl with token
supplied by caller
- Use different init-token ioctl structure (w/ vs w/o address parameter
in ELRANGE)

We did the testing on sgx1 machine and found it is required to modify
psw. See
https://github.com/alibaba/inclavare-containers/blob/master/hack/no-sgx-flc/Linux-SGX-PSW-2.13-Support-SGX1-machine-with-SGX-in-tree-driver.patch

So we are interested how do you avoid to modify PSW to work out.

Cheers,
Jia
