In function sgx_encl_create(), the logic of directly assigning

SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_CREATE. If change this assignment statement to
or operation, the PROVISION command can be executed earlier and
more flexibly.

Alternatively, move the existing code to sgx_open()? Initializing the field
when the encl object is allocated feels more correct.



This seems like a good idea. Thanks for your suggestion. I have sent v2 patch, include the next two patches.
