I assume that we do still want to ensure that
PROT_READ is always set.

I was planning to keep it in the "SGX language" since
this is about changing EPCM permissions with values from
a runtime understanding SGX permissions in secinfo that will
be provided to hardware understanding SGX permissions in
secinfo.

Thus:

if (params.permissions & ~SGX_SECINFO_PERMISSION_MASK)
	return -EINVAL;

if (!(params.permissions & SGX_SECINFO_R))
	return -EINVAL;
