What is "a charge" and why does SGX driver need to do iterative walks?
Neither is explained here.

Ambiguous language: misc_cg vs "misc controller". Are the different
types of objects? If not, then stick to misc_cg everywhere.

net/rxrpc/misc.c?

The point being that plain "misc.c" is ambiguous.

Yet another term "misc cg struct", and not just "misc_cg" like in the
first paragraph.
