It took me a minute to figure out what this was trying to say.  Maybe
breaking it down into these three steps would help:

Add a test that:
 (1) Creates an SGX enclave page with writable EPCM permission
 (2) Changes the PTE permission on the page to read-only.  This should
     be permitted because the permission does not exceed the EPCM
     permission.
 (3) Attempts a write to the page and generate a page fault (#PF)
     because of the read-only PTE.
