I don't think we should be exporting anything other than sgx_enabled
and sgx_lc_enabled. ÂThe only external use of a symbol that can't be
trivially (re)moved is in the driver's sgx_pm_suspend() in sgx_main.c,
which uses theÂsgx_active_page_list to invalidate enclaves. ÂAnd that
behavior seems unsafe, e.g. an enclave could theoretically have zero
pages on the active list and so could be missed in the suspend flow.
