I think it's as simple as requiring that, if SECINFO.X is set, then
the src pointer points to the appropriate number of bytes of
executable memory.  (Unless there's some way for an enclave to change
SECINFO after the fact -- is there?)  Sadly, we don't really have the
a nice in-kernel API for that right now.  You could do
down_read(mmap_sem) and find_vma().  Arguably there is no value to
checking that PKRU allows execute to the data.

Hey, Dave, if you're still paying attention to this thread, should we
have copy_from_user_exec() that does the right thing wrt the page
permissions and PKRU.
