  Paolo, i verified this version with latest SGX NUMA patches plus Qemu
  reset patch, and below all tests are passed.
  1). Windows2019 guest reboot.
  2). Single vepc and multiple vepcs to guest, and run 500 enclaves in the
      guest. reboot the guest.

  This kernel patchset can remove all pages including child and SECS pages
  with one round or two rounds removals from Qemu side.

  The Qemu NUMA v2 will be sent out today, and which will include this reset
  patch. Welcome to use this v2 to verify this reset or NUMA cases, thanks!
