X86 machine check architecture reports a physical address when there is a memory error. Handling that error requires a method to determine whether the physical address reported is in any of the areas reserved for EPC pages by BIOS. SGX EPC pages do not have Linux "struct page" associated with them. Keep track of the mapping from ranges of EPC pages to the sections that contain them using an xarray. N.B. adds CONFIG_XARRAY_MULTI to the SGX dependecies. So "select" that in arch/x86/Kconfig for X86/SGX. Create a function arch_is_platform_page() that simply reports whether an address is an EPC page for use elsewhere in the kernel. The ACPI error injection code needs this function and is typically built as a module, so export it. Note that arch_is_platform_page() will be slower than other similar "what type is this page" functions that can simply check bits in the "struct page". If there is some future performance critical user of this function it may need to be implemented in a more efficient way. Note also that the current implementation of xarray allocates a few hundred kilobytes for this usage on a system with 4GB of SGX EPC memory configured. This isn't ideal, but worth it for the code simplicity.

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.
