If I have 100GB of RAM and 100MB of EPC, can I really *meaningfully* run 
50GB of enclaves?  In that case, if everything was swapped out evenly, I 
would only have a 499/500 chance that a given page reference would fault.

This isn't about a "heavy enclave load".  If there is *that* much 
swapped-out enclave memory, will an enclave even make meaningful forward 
progress?
