Ok. I'll take out max_write() callback and only implement non-preemptive  
misc.max for EPC.
I can also separate OOEPC_killing enclaves out, which is not needed if we  
only block allocation at limit, no need killing one enclave to make space  
for another. This will simplify a lot.

Thanks to all for your input!
