Add a wrapper for the EMODT ENCLS leaf function used to change the type of an enclave page as maintained in the SGX hardware's Enclave Page Cache Map (EPCM). EMODT: 1) Updates the EPCM page type of the enclave page. 2) Sets the MODIFIED bit in the EPCM entry of the enclave page. This bit is reset by the enclave by invoking ENCLU leaf function EACCEPT or EACCEPTCOPY. Access from within the enclave to the enclave page is not possible while the MODIFIED bit is set. After changing the enclave page type by issuing EMODT the kernel needs to collaborate with the hardware to ensure that no logical processor continues to hold a reference to the changed page. This is required to ensure no required security checks are circumvented and is required for the enclave's EACCEPT/EACCEPTCOPY to succeed. Ensuring that no references to the changed page remain is accomplished with the ETRACK flow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
