Yes.

And for just EENTER, maybe that's the right model.

If we want to generalize it to other thread-synchronous faults, it
needs way more information and a list of handlers, but if we limit the
thing to _only_ EENTER getting an SGX fault, then a single "this is
the fault handler" address is probably the right thing to do.
